Good evening everyone!
They look yummy
Hello Natrah -we have had some fairly bad weather here today and yesterday - very windy and cold, so Zola didn't get his walk, though we had a specialiy long fireside stroke. It is really upsetting how much damage the wind is doing to all the blossom on the trees - and lots of young plants have been flattened in people's gardens. But today I've been reading that birds are already starting nesting - and swallows are coming back-and butterflies will also soon be appearing earlier than usual. Nature seems to sort itself out, doesn't it, given a chance.
Good evening everyone!
Such beautiful pictures Zola. You are one very loved boy. Thankyou for sharing them with us
!Dear Sue - Zola is indeed very much loved - he is basically all the family we have -Richard's siblings are in Canada, and my brother in France, and we are unlikely to ever see them again - so Zola is very precious. He is so loving and trusting, and we just hope he can keep well and happy with us as long as we live, and that we can find someone who will care for him as much as we do when we are no longer there for him.Such beautiful pictures Zola. You are one very loved boy. Thankyou for sharing them with us
Dickie didn’t find any Easter eggs in the garden, she thinks the Rooks got them first. She hasn’t looked in her little house yet …….
She was a little distracted because Pete is now back from his travels & he knows all her hiding places!
Good evening everyone!
hello Natrah -no, Clarence the pheasant hasn't been around for several years now - apart from people shooting them, pheasants are liable to wander on to roads and get run over - they are not the most intelligent of birds. I did feel I had a bond with him, as a result of looking after him when he injured his leg, but eventually he decided he needed to find a female, I think -and we never saw him again.
George stayed downstairs last night although the door was open for him to come upstairs which he did at about 7am. I’m tired & so is Pete having had no sleep since Friday when he got home Sunday morning. I was expecting him to go to bed & planned a no noise day but he decided to stay up until bedtime but he did doze off early evening when I doing dinner.
I just want to make sure that Angie and Edward saw these.
Our schools get 2 weeks off at Easter & Christmas, a week at half term & about 6 weeks in summer. We also have something called Baker days which are tagged on to the end of some holidays. They are teacher training days (no pupils) although when I was at school they didn’t exist. The uni’s seem to get similar holidays, maybe a bit longer.I am now back to my university city with Edward after my Easter holiday. We get about a week off in uni, meanwhile in primary schools and high schools only the important days are off. Last night it had snowed in my home town but it all had melted by the time we took a bus here.
During my Easter holiday I visited Berlin with my dad and two siblings. I noticed that the spring was further on in there and every time I saw a dandelion flowers I thought of Edward and how we don't have them in Finland yet. I will have to dig through my photos to figure out when I found the first ones last year.
