Another Siberian visitor

 The sun has continued to shine. It's been amazing. Means we can continue to get outside jobs done.

 Jim has been adding the front guttering. All going well although the downpipe will need to be creative as the drain is under the new front door step. It was too much of a drop so we had to add a second step.




Jill spent time putting in th first big gate post. Big hole, lots of cement and a hernia!!!!


It's a bit big.

Also,some more insulation got finished with tape in the attic.


Jill found another flagstone for the path. Just need a few more from somewhere.


There have been two good birds too see. A distant Golden Oriole in Walls and a nearly as distant and skulky  Eastern Crowned Warbler in Sandness. The 2nd was a big twitch which we have got out of the habit of doing. Lots of folk and some dodgy parking blocking passing bays and parking on a road verge that' s on a single track road' so not really wide enough. Disappointing that many forget to be sensible  as I upsets the locals.

 It was difficult to photograph as it was at the back of trees but a nice bird none the less. All the way from  siberia/china/korea.









Another new tick for Jill. Good to see it feeding well
