House Martins

A few years ago we put up three house martin nest boxes to save all the failure of bits of mud falling off the wall. It must be such hard work for them after their long flight from Africa. I'm disappointed for them when the mud doesn't stick.

One of our boxes has been taken by wasps and the other chicks aren't at the age of looking out yet.

This afternoon I went next door for a meeting to plan a week of children's activities in the summer holidays.

I made something new for tea, one of one of Rick Stein's with potatoes and spinach in filo pastry.

Upcoming Blipmeet:
I've been organising a Cumbrian Blipmeet. I'm lucky that there are a few blipping couples we have meals with but it's a long time (pre-Covid) since we've been on an anybody-come-along-if-you-can sort of blipmeet.

So, it's near Cockermouth on Thursday, 10th July, to celebrate Tryfan46 moving to the Lake District. Details are on Community Page.
