Long tailed tits

Made a lemon drizzle cake this afternoon, the first cake I've baked in ages, to take to John C's this evening. Our contribution to a fabulous (and socially distanced) meal, a barbecue, cooked by John. 'Twas far too cold a tad chilly for eating al fresco, but we survived thanks to copious amounts of red wine, whisky, hot drinks, and several additional layers of clothing as the evening progressed. The unseasonal chill didn't stop us putting the world to rights, and tonight several senior government ministers most likely have burning ears, not to mention the PM and a certain chief adviser whose ears should be so hot that spontaneous combustion is a possibility!

As we finished eating, a family of 7 or 8 long tailed tits flew in to take advantage the feeders.
