My partner is French and insisted we watched everything about him and the Queen and all her family. I was happy to do so. Her relatives even rang us expressing their condolences. My Sister in Spain told me they all watched the service as did relatives in Canada Australia and New Zealand. My...

It was like a spring day at last today. The magpie had a standoff with the cat and the bird won. I never saw this happen before. The cat was very vocal. Spot the old nest. I had to hang out of the bedroom window to see it.

We have the remnants of an ash tree which is now covered in a fungus which I will try and post a picture of later on. Should we just leave it? It is between the nice neighbours and us and they have a little granddaughter. My partner thought it might be poisonous. I thought it might cause more...

Wally in the well

And Barny is building a fence parallel to his other one, as he drives in, he must be very insecure.

We think there are chicks in nests to feed as the tits and sparrows are coming to get spiders round the kitchen windows though they can see that we are there. There are no insects for them though my partner put a wasp out last night. I am feeding more meal worms and crumbled fat balls as well as...

Just snowed here. Hail forecast. SNow was not though. Tulips coming up very small I keep watering.

I bought a bag of mixed narcissis can't spell sorry, I was a bit disappointed the daffs were OK I had hoped for some white ones with yellow centres, and jonquils, well I got these triples headed mini jonqils, some insipid daffs too and tete a tetes, and some double things. But they did grow by...

Audrey Two? It looks like the cuckoo pint we have, wild arum. Or Mother in Law's Tongue?

Marevellous close ups are they timrous, the beasties?

We had it too, tiny little balls we thought the plum tree blossom was blowing about, it is but it was snow. And so cold enough to wear Baz's two hairnets. We did some gardening. Have built up the birdbath sides, and stuck the stone birds back. Will let it dry turn it over and finish the bottom...

It is a natural barrier from Mr Barmy too. Which he hacked last year. But it is growing back. All the cutting we put against the fence have taken, the musk mallow likes it there. The rhubarb, daffs, buddleigha, London Pride, golden rod, nasturtiums, hopefully hollyhock but the un will be limited...

Where's Wally?
