Something Foxy This Way Comes

Haven't seen this gorgeous fellow for a while. It was nice to see him visiting our garden again today.


Paw-lickin' Good

 We got a Maccy D delivered last night. The delivery guy included someone else's order of chicken nuggets. Unable to eat them ourselves, we stuff them out as a wildlife treat. And sure enough, within minutes of putting them out, one of our garden foxes took the lot:

A Wrong 'un

 This wildtype miscreant is another of our neighbour's cats. You only have to make eye contact with her for her to scatter as though demons from hell were about to attack lol. Her name is Goldie:

She knows and I know she was up to no good when I spotted her through the kichen window. She was hiding out amongst these flowers, eyeing up the baby sparrows that are frequenting our garden:

Boxing Day Garden



I put our Christmas day leftovers out in the garden in the afternoon to feed any hungry wildlife that happenned to pass by our patio. Whilst the second visitor was no suprise and cleaned up the bulk of the meal, the first visitor got a few roast potatoes down their throat before the food was cleared:

"I'm beginning to feel like I live down the rubbish tip.




I know I promised to stop taking pics of gloves, lol, but I couldn't resist snapping these. I don't think that this particular pair were lost tho - just waiting for action:


I twinged my back today getting things out of the house and down the dump. North Gower didn't disappoint and the caravan park we are staying at gets some to temper my aches and pains:

Ramshorn Water Snails Nano Tank

I recently set up a nano rams-horn snail aquarium from an old jar, a couple of moss balls and some green sea glass I have gathered over the years during my numerous beachcombs. The snails seem to have settled in well, and they have been feeding off the debris among the old moss, and the tank should become a self-care environment. They self-regulate their egg-laying depending on how well they are dining, so it should be easy to tell whether I need to add a few flakes of fish food to the jar...

Shaking off a dream...

Had to go for a walk in the misty woods this morning to shake off a dream...





It's Spider Season!

It's spider season in our garden at the moment. Can't move for them!


The Day I Met Meowth

Friday, August 4, 2023

Spent the morning doing a little writing before everyone else woke up, then took a chilled stroll along the Thames near our home for the weekend, in a most beautiful part of London, Mosely.





We all took a nice stroll through Bushy Park in the afternoon. The place was full of parakeets, squirrels, rabbits, trout and Red Deer. Heaven on Earth.

I kind of held my nerve for longer than I should have for the following video. Looking back, I kinda wish I had held it a while longer, but better safe than sorry.



I even got to tickle a trout!

 All in all, a great day outdoors :) I even bumped into this character!

Meowth's fur was softer than I had imagined

Whilst I have a strong dislike of London (it's way too busy and polluted), I think I could live in Mosely quite happily.
