Sorry neighbours….. Alfie has been a bit vocal today. Some heifers were very inquisitive today, looking over the back fence (not to mention eating one of our tree’s). Alfie took it upon himself to tell them off, from a safe distance of course, on numerous occasions.

May 8th – “I’m here Dad”
Velvet, still going strong
May 7th – Make hay……
Today’s photo is of our neighbour cutting his grass…. makes my task look simple, but the old saying ‘make hay whilst the sun shines’ seems incredibly relevant during the lock-down period. There seems to be 2 schools of thought on what to do during the lock-down, be bored, sit and worry, or use the timeContinue reading “May 7th – Make hay……”
May 6th – The garden
Well, I have only just recovered from the injuries sustained after the last post (written ages ago) about the wife’s bush, so thought I’d play it safe this time.

The sun setting over the horizon this evening was amazing, with the ferocious sun against a dark sky. Each time the sun goesContinue reading “May 4th – As the sun sets…”
May 3rd – Lock-down Blues
Whilst sitting and talking to my wife about what today’s photo post would be about, the photo below landed in my inbox. If you look closely you can see a headset plugged into my phone. I have dabbled with the guitar for quiet a few years (on and off), but figured that it might beContinue reading “May 3rd – Lock-down Blues”
May 2nd – Monty…
Meet Monty
May 1st – Weird names
Another plant today, but why is it called a cowslip? Even with my weird imagination I can’t vision a cow slipping on a little delicate flower, so it’s back to T’internet. Most sites suggest it is derived from the old English for cow dung, known as cow slop, as they are associated with cow meadows.Continue reading “May 1st – Weird names”
April 30th – Wisteria
