I look out the window and it seems that we are having the longest autumn in living memory , its either very grey or very sunny . The heatings been on for an hour just to bleed the radiators , im still having to sleep with the window open and a single sheet . But then there was some cheerful chap online the other night pointing out that the worst winter in 20 years started this way !!! The level of birds this year is amazing a lot have managed two batches of young , we are absolutely infested with wrens and tits , so i cant tidy the back garden because they like to pick all the seeds off the weeds . We have a huge ivy that covers and hides the oil tank its now in flower and is covered with bees and wasps daily . Theres hundreds of ladybirds whever the sun comes out . The bald patches in the lawn have filled in i sprinkled them with wildlife friendly seed, different clovers and grasses so it might be a tad alternative this year and will doubtless upset the neighbours as always . The hedgehogs are still up and feeding every night . in fact its positivly brimming with life out there , which is how i like it .
Meanwhile in the real world the disabled adapted van has now been sat in the garage for 3 months waiting for a part that you can only get from America , which with all the dumb tariff fiddling about is sat in a depot somewhere ? Even himself who always buys Ford says never again ..ho hum I will stick to watching the wildlife and trying to motivate myself into Facebook Marketplace listing a ton of accidental auction lot Denby tableware , I wanted a doll and two big boxes of pots turned up as a bonus ...lol..i dont want to store it overwinter and tableware usually goes before xmas .
