At last a dry enough day for me to give a couple of shrubs a trim before the garden bin gets emptied tomorrow. I did have a helper - not! 
When I tried to move the cloth he just rolledon his back. He must have been worn out by his efforts as he is now asleep on the settee. He is a neighbour's cat but we are looking fter him at the moment. he can get in at home but likes company.

A truly well loved garden Steve. It must give you many hours of pleasure { despite the wet weather }Considering that I have only had to water the garden twice in the last two weeks, It's doing fine.

We have an outbreak of Avian Flue at a farm only a couple of miles from our village. In excess of 1000 dead seabirds have been collected off local shorelines in the last four days.
We are still getting Sparrows and Starlings at the bird feeder, so fingers are crossed.

Lovely weather for July! Raining again, windy and thunder. Doesn't look like I will be doing any gardening today.

Disaster. 
Looked out of the kitchen window this morning to check on the tallest of my sunflowers and the top was bent over. I blamed myself for not getting taller supports and assumed the wind had broken it. But....when I went to check part of the stem was actually missing. I can only assume Mr Nutkin had taken a nibble. Any ideas if it was something else?
