Speaking of cheese and great sandwiches, this popped in my TWITTER today. Hands down the Brown Bloomer for me. The Wensleydale tops it. But, I enjoy a nice aged brie too. Hmmmm.

Brown bloomer with cheddar, rocket and sliced or cherry tomatoes, with grapes and apple as a side for me.
Thanks - if the dandelion seeds are anything to go by I'll expect it in a month!

With a little bit luck in a few weeks Mr. and Mrs. Fox will bring their little foxes to the place where they daily get food.:) But when a huntsman see them he will shoot them.:(
It is very sad that people can't just leave nature be.:(
It will be a quicker end for them than being terrified and chased for miles, then torn apart though.:(

I miss an old rye that Krogers used to have with swiss. I also love sliced fresh tomato on real soft white.

Oh how beautiful!!! Thank you so much Sabine! Was she disturbed at all?
No, you cannot disturb a hungry fox. They are very smart. They know that the street latern gets dark at 00:00. They wait until it is completely dark on the street and then they`ll get their food I took out. Clever foxies !

More garden, lawn and tree work today. I still need to go in the back garden and strim the edges where I cut grass.
I used up additional time today working on the second downed pine tree.
  • Need to make hay while the Sun dhines = cut the largest trees first with the new sharp chainsaw blade.

I thought that to hunt foxes with horses is forbidden in the UK ?
Yes it is however the hunters pretend they are trail hunting but buy fox urine from abroad and deliberately lay the scent in areas where they know there are foxes and then they say that they can't stop the dogs. They also have thugs who go and dig out a fox den so that any parents and cubs get killed by the dogs.
The police know it is going on but rarely prosecute and some police forces side with the hunters. There are lots of groups called saboteurs who try to disrupt the hunts in a peaceful way.

A late hello from me to everyone in the CDR.
Happy Weds to those still in the middle of it and Happy Thursday to those of us who have just started a new day.
Lola has ventured out further into the garden and for longer today.
He stopped to eat some clover but wouldn't lie down and bask. He preferred to wander in and out of his room, so he has had a lot of exercise and spent quite a bit of time in the sun today.
I've learnt its best to leave him to his own devices because if I put him out he just panics and rushes straight in - silly tort!

Yes, they are silly and I think know what’s best. Beautiful warm day here, some sun, some clouds. Our Sully just now at 1900 came out of the warm “night box” to have breakfast, lunch and dinner. Go figure.

:D
We have a few warm days of about 60-65F ahead but then back down to mid 50s next week.
My garden is very sheltered and south facing so it will be warmer there, and I'm sure Lola will find his way out, then in, then back out and in etc etc etc for at least some of the day.

Thank goodness it missed you the floods in some areas were horrendous.
I was worried about Toretto and his pals as well as you and your family.
Glad all is well with everyone.

Thanks Lyn!! Hope Lola is well and getting more courageous by the day for you! You getting around even better now? Think you’ll be ready for the school year?

Just food coloring... I bought a purple duck and a green duck when my daughter was younger. They were just white ducks all grown up.. I think more and more states are getting away from it because people worry about the animals safety.
I'm so glad that people are getting away from that. I haven't seen a dyed chick for years. I really like seeing their real baby colors better anyway. When I go to my local farm store in the spring, I always check out the babys.
