Ducky update:)
This morning, I opened the coop and watched them head into the lake. I left them out. ALL DAY . Got home from work and gave a little call- all six of them appeared from a little sleu in The brush.. happy as could be:) I went out just a bit ago and they had all put themselves back in the coop to roost.
LOL. You have them trained perfectly. Well done!!

Well, well well. All done and caught up. Such good news and Dorian bypassing Ray, but not so good for Marc now. Hopefully Dorian just ends up being hot air for Marc as well.
Heather your ducklings are absolutely gorgeous and I love seeing pics of them. But I am missing your little Chameleon friend. I think it is time that we had an updated pic of him.
Cathie I feel the need to see a pic of your bunny rabbit and Angel. Pretty please.
Yvonne, did you manage to get someone to come and help clean the solar panels?
Lyn, how is getting back into the swing of working again going?
Marc, Enjoy your good book. It is a lost pleasure.
Lena how are our little spiders doing? and any luck on the job hunting?
Linda - So how did the hedgehog release go? Did you manage to get some photos?
Chubbs (So sorry I have forgotten what you said your name was) If you do decide to make your son run around with Antlers - just remember it did not happen until we see the pics.
Black Dog - I like the drone idea! Is that what you do to scare your neighbors?
Kathy (Momof4) - I haven't seen any posts here for a little while now. How are you doing and is everybody recovering nicely now?
Ray - I am so glad that Dorian missed you guys. Can we get a pic or two of Opo?
Ben - Again I am so sorry about Bridge. But I am glad that you are enjoying collage so much. It is a good sign.
I hope that I have not left anybody out. Enjoy your Thursdays.

Oh No!! I forgot to add you into my summary. So sorry!!
Please take pictures of Salins de Gruissan for us. We love postcards.
Hahaha don't worry! :)
Yep, it's some pink salt lakes in South West of France. Very lovely, I have to visit my country again, everything is new for my tunisian wife.

Ooh! Take your binoculars. That area is great for birdwatching and the migration has started. The storks have been going through in big numbers apparently :)

Good mornooning all.

Sorry Carol no photos of the hedgehogs. They were asleep in a carrier and handed over to the releaser. I was just the intermediate taxi.

I am back at the rescue this afternoon. I am hoping to see this tiny chap. He is the UK’s smallest species of bird - a Firecrest. They’re not common. This one was admitted on Tuesday.

All fluffed up like that suggests he wasn’t feeling too good.

What a cute little bird. Poor thing. Why was he brought in? What is the little birds story?

Good evening all.

So today we went to Carcassonne which is closer to Spain than Paris. The old town had to be extremely well fortified as Spanish, French, Catalans and various religious parties have fought over it through history.

What we see now is the medieval town as restored in the 1880s. I like it, although it does feel a bit Disney in places.

The weather was cold, damp (the rain never got going properly) and windy, but we're Brits and used to that so it wasn't much of a problem. It also gave us an excuse to have Cassoulet for lunch - a hearty stew/casserole from this area made from white haricot beans and duck that traditionally also contains a sausage and a piece of pork. It's yummy, very filling and probably not something you'd want when the temperature was 35C. Luckily it was 18C max today - colder with windchill.

Aha! I thought I might have already posted postcards. It doesn’t excuse you though, Adrien!
