Safe haven I

Now if you follow my journal in even the most half-hearted way, you will have noticed that I like birds. OK, I love birds. But not when they ravage our salad crops!!! Too often the lettuce has been shredded to its stocking tops by sparrows, who sit on the gate with the evidence in their beaks. Apparently they don't even eat it, but use the soft tissue to line their nests. Anyway, it had to stop - so we invested in a few more of these cloches, not too ugly and they do the trick.

Our travelling friends were with us most of the day. It was lovely to sit and chill with them. I realised how much I'd missed their laughter.
