I see you there! This little mouse watched me while I mucked out the hogs today…..cheeky thing, between that and the robin perching on the table…. Well guys, I’m off on a jolly to York for four days for a friends’ birthday, sixteen of us are going so it should be something of a hoot. …
Gosh, how the week has flown and to think it’s almost mid-march! I feel that I’m positively whizzing through the garden jobs now. The extended veggie patch has been dug over and the first of the seeds, carrots, have gone in. The potatoes will be next, and as a girl can never have too many …

This post is really me thinking out loud at the moment…..and is not for the fainthearted. There is little in the way of good cheer about it, just me trying to work out a few things that insist on running around and around my head in an endless loop. A blog is very good place …
At the rescue, I have now officially become the hedgehog woman, and as such it has fallen to me to do the weekly hedgehog weigh in. As you can see, many of our hogs are becoming rather plump and seem disinterested in their ever-expanding waistlines….there are several even fatter than this one. You wouldn’t believe …

I’m rather pleased with myself for asking for plants for Christmas and my birthday this year, I simply can’t get over how many I’ve received. This is my birthday hoard….are you ready? Here we go…..Hazel Hedging, a beautiful Acer, a King Sago Palm Tree, a Fig Tree, two Rock Roses, Switch Grass, a Rambling …
It’s been a funny old week with a few surprises thrown in, but before I come to them, I have a few tales I’d like to tell you. A couple brought two birds into the rescue a few days ago and told us the following story. Apparently they have two broody old hens who no …
Autumn has come and gone in a whirlwind, and suddenly winter is here. Time seems to be positively flying by. Over the last week we’ve had gales, endless hail, and even snow, and tomorrow winds of ninety mph are forecast along with heavy rain, so I’m rather pleased that I’ve finished walking Oscar and Charlie as their owner …
I heard a song on the radio that I really like today, The first time by Roberta Flack, and there’s a line in the song.….Like the trembling heart of a captive bird….. Now this line has little to do with birds in the song, but I have a lot to do with birds, so it triggered a …
I have to say, it’s certainly been a week of firsts for me. Some of them good…..some certainly not so good! As some of you may remember, I signed up as a volunteer months ago with the Cinnamon Trust This is a wonderful organisation where the pets of elderly people are cared for while they are …
