Newts ?

My gardener came rushing up to the kitchen door, doffed his cap as he is required to do and I gave him permission to speak.
After a couple of seconds he got his breath back and said that I really should come down to the pond as the Newts were a bit on the large size this year and kept trying to catch the birds as they come to the pond to drink.
I thought he had been on the falling down water, but what I saw was a bit of a shock to say the least as you will see from the picture.
Anybody want a new handbag?

Is any one There?

Well so far there has not been a single visitor, so I guess our tenants are a little shy.
The sunshine continues, but for how long.
The Blackbirds are still sitting and the doves are busy building their nest in the tree. How any eggs will ever stay in the nest only
time will tell but it is very "see through" just have to wait and see.

The spring continues?

To bring you up to date, the Blackbirds are busy sitting on their clutch of eggs, I don't know have many, as I wont get that close so as to disturb them.
We have also got a couple of Jenny Wrens hanging about, so with luck they might just decide to set up home here as well.
Just a quick reminder don't forget that one of our tenants under the aspices of our tenants association are holding a table top sale next Sunday the 9th at the Hundred Houses office. Doors open at 1000am.
