For those former serfs, warlords and other denizens of Wulferhampton coming over from the other place, this is the new home of Bunny_helm. Lest thy be confused. I shall pin this here for a while.
Today's delivery of stone to be cut and shaped to form bench seating and the top of two fire pits. #busy #sandstone #outdoorliving

A couple of weeks ago, younger bro and his family dropped in for a quick visit. They gave me some sheep's wool, which they found on their travels, so I hung bits of it up on bushes round the garden. Saw a goldfinch take a beakful of wool and fly off across the garden to nearby trees.

Just spotted a load more miner bee holes in my garden and got excited! They are very shy but I would love to get a photo of them. #LoveBees

@Ivor @athairbirb Thanks,but no sympathy needed - it's just a different set of expectations to life.
Meanwhile #envy your proximity to Berwick, provided you're on the right side of the Border. It's a lovely place. Spent hours in a second hand book shop there...
Suddenly there are many magpies. The most comical corvid. (several others out of shot right and left).

Olive sits very still while Larry binkies because she knows that by the very act of watching, the observer affects the observed reality.

It's official - the first of the flag irises is out.
Spotted from the kitchen window this morning. Soon the area to one side of The Last Homely House will be a mass of yellow and green

Porch stripped out. Replacing old panelling with tongue and groove softwood. Lots of mitre cutting into the corners. Oh such fun! 🙄

Good morning! Larry wishes everyone a very hoppy Wednesday.
The UK apparently has a safeguarding minister in the government. Rachel McLean.
Who knew. Anyway.
Problem is the advice she gives to people won't keep them safe.
