Good evenooning all!

Before I hurt my knee, JoesDad and I booked ourselves into a Bittern Breakfast at RSPB Dungeness.

A very early rise (5am) to get to Dungeness point ... basically a large shingle peninsula into the English Channel... for a 7am start where we were taken round the reserve by a volunteer and a warden to heat Bitterns booming and identify other birds for a couple of hours ... followed by a hot breakfast of porridge, sausage and bacon rolls, tea/coffee, fruit juice and fruit.

Despite Storm Hannah and my leg, we went this morning. Hannah decided to dump most of her rain elsewhere so we ‘only’ had the gale force winds in one of the more exposed parts of the country.

We had a brilliant day, staying on after the guided bit, seeing 45 species including Marsh Harrier, Peregrine and Raven and we heard the Bitterns (you will have to Google it - it sounds like someone blowing over the top of a large bottle)

And we also found a Grass Snake

And a teeny-weeny baby Smooth Newt that can have only just left the pond it hatched in (they’re a tadpole species)

We’re feeling a little windblown now. Supermarket lasagne for dinner, a bottle of wine and an early night in order [emoji4]
They are so cute!

Facebook tells me I have to download messenger to receive my messages, but the download process wants my mobile number. I don 't have a mobile number. Is there a way around this, anyone know?

What symbol do you have next to search box?
See that , you can try it.
But most likely you’ll need the desktop version.

Chocolate...

When I traveled a ton....i could never bring enough of these back..

Ritter Sport is a brand of chocolate from the family-owned Alfred Ritter GmbH & Co. KG. Company, which is headquartered in Waldenbuch, Germany.

Or these...

A Mozartkugel (English: Mozart ball), is a small, round sugar confection made of pistachio marzipan and nougatthat is covered with dark chocolate. It was originally known as Mozart-Bonbon, created in 1890 by Salzburgconfectioner Paul Fürst (1856–1941) and named after Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Hand-made Original Salzburger Mozartkugeln are manufactured by Fürst's descendants up to today, while similar products have been developed by numerous confectioners, often industrially produced.

Of course...you can’t go wrong with a KitKat bar..
Hmmm yummmmy. They sound scrumptious!!

I don't have the desktop version, so I'm not having much success helping @Yvonne G. The problem is verifying identity. Apparently you need a government document of some kind, but that's as far as I got.
I think she needs to look in the help section of the desktop version of FB.

A beautiful lady. :) How did they send the dogs to you, Bee? Did somebody come to bring them? Did you have to pay?
