I don't know what to say?

It is so long since I wrote a blog that I just don't know what to say! I  have no excuse, I just didn't seem to find the time than after so long I just couldn't be bothered.  I have been a bit down, however, I am not sure why so I have decided to begin again. Quite a few things have happened since I last wrote.
Lynsey has been away to The Netherlands and Germany with work, she enjoyed it, but managed to injure herself. Lynsey  came home with a pair of crutches and a small cast on her leg. She had fallen on some stairs in Germany and had damaged some tendons in her ankle.
Lynsey went to Pinderfields because she had a lot of pain in her leg. They x-rayed it again but could not find any breaks. Lynsey was given a larger cast, like a big black boot that came up to just below her knee. She said that felt better but it still hurt.

Emma has passed her driving test, she is very pleased with this because it means she can share the driving when the family take any holidays. I am very proud of her.

Tony is waiting for an operation on his back, this should make his legs better, which means he will be able to walk more. We are both a bit worried about this operation and the waiting is not helping.

Garden Update.
The garden is a little bit quiet at the moment, however we have 3 squirrels, occasionally 4 still causing havoc we also have a male, female, and 2 juvenile great spotted woodpeckers calling. There are the usual small birds as well but they just seem to be very few visits.

We have been to Scotland and actually found somewhere to stay that told the truth! We had red squirrels right outside the door.


This feeder is straight opposite the door, there was 3 different squirrels that came to feed. We know this because of the markings





The squirrel above has some sort of growth on its nose.




The squirrel above has part of his ear missing.

It was amazing to get out of bed on a morning and see these delightful creatures just outside your door.

There was also a Red Legged Partridge that came to sit on the fence at the front of the cottage.


Every day this bird would appear about 6pm, it would sit there just looking round for a while. Then it would jump down onto the grass peck and scratch around for a few minutes, then walk away around the side of the cottage and to the owners house.

There were also some deer that walked down the path at the side of the cottage and into the paddock at the bottom of the drive. I didn't get any pictures of these but Tony did.

Well I found something to say.

Until the next time.
