I’ve just spent a lovely day in the garden (yes one of us is still unemployed) sweeping tending and watering. Yes watering. In England! It hasn’t rained here for 3 weeks and everyone is commenting on the lovely but highly unusual weather. Tops of 24 degrees and in April! It’s all spaghetti straps and footy shorts over here. Yikes.
The best part was that after I swept last year’s oak leaves away from the concrete pavers, did a bit of digging and watering, the robins were very curious to see what was going on – three of them flew into the garden and hopped about eating bugs and bits not more than two feet away. They sing so well.
Thankyou to english-country-garden.com for the pic. I’m afraid the camera phone isn’t quite good enough yet for such a zoom and the other camera is in constant use…
