Bill got lots of jobs done out in the garden today -cleaning the pond filter out -a horrible dirty job was the worst of them, but so worth it-the water is getting so clear now.He also replaced the old green netting over the top of it with some black which doesn't show up as much.The heron has been seen around the fields behind us recently and we wont take the chance of loosing any of our precious fish again as we did when the pond was first set up.
We bought the wooden dolphin sculpture at the boot sale yesterday-it was a real bargain!
We have got the table and chairs set up on the patio so it will be lovely to have breakfast outside in the mornings in the sunshine.
The magnolia tree that our friends Jan and John bought Bill last year for his birthday has flowered beautifully-got some more tidying up to do still in places.
We will be able to get on and do some now-we had been avoiding the bottom 2 levels of the garden because a pair of blackbirds had nested and hatched 4 babies-however they were in a very open space exposed to the elements-tonight Bill found the nest empty-we think the magpies probably saw them and killed them.
There was a great sunset while we were out there enjoying a glass of wine!
