Jims back!

 It was really good to see Jim back today.  We said take it slow but he was out there shovelling stones and on the roof getting ready for the ridges- which should be here next week.

To get ready for the building paper to go on, a path has been created so we aren't wading in mud!

Jill helped a bit fishing out the stones from the grass. The worms have been busy underneath the pile of stones.

After lunch, Jill got on with the path, adding some more slates to the top and side.

Our group of twite are back n the garden after their winter holiday. Always good to see them.

The rock doves are also looking splendid in their spring feathers.

Took some photos of  the new trees cuttings so you can see how well they are doing.

Spring has sprung

 It was a lovely day today so it was tidy up time outside and a bit of gardening. The willow cuttings we got from our friend are all now going into leaf so we hope that means they are thinking about putting down some roots.

It was also good cement drying day so a bit more path got made and some wood shutter has now been removed. The edge will get ined with slate.

Rob has been working on planning stuff as we now need to submit a planning application for the grant company for solar panels. They have had 2 years!

Jill popped out to Burrastow for a nice walk. The light was stunning. First Golden Plover are back.

It was good to just sit and watch. This Curlew entertained for 20 minutes catching crabs.

Lots of Redshank action too.

Had a fly by of around 250 Dunters ( Common Eider)

It was a lovely walk.

It was simple!

 Jim popped by yesterday. We were really pleased to see him looking so well. We kept some work for you!

Our powering WiFi extenders stopped working so we did a run to town to try and sort it out.  It turned out there is tiny, tiny hidden button that must have got knocked. Who knew, it didn't say in the manual!. All working again now.

While we were in town we smelt smoke and could see the smoke hanging older the harbour.

Apparently it was someone's house. Hope all are OK. It was a lot of smoke.

We had a sandwich at Shetland catch watching the seals, Eider and gulls. No med Gull while we were there, but the Iceland Gull showed well.

We did a quick stop on the way home as the weather was lovely. We had 8nGreat Northern Divers and over 30 purple sandpipers 

Nice Curlew by the roadside.
