Wonderful Wednesday

23/04/2009 by Aileen.

Oh what a glorious day yesterday was. It was Birding, and we walked through dappled sunshine along woodland paths. Saw willow tits, willow warblers, blackcaps and other lovely little songsters. The bluebells are coming along nicely, and there were primroses, violets and wood sorrell in profusion. I missed one grass snake the others saw, but had my own personal viewing of another, rustling through the dry bracken. For more, see Michael’s blog -

In the afternoon I cut the two grass areas at bottom of garden, and trimmed round stepping stones to the washing line. Ialso used spade and half moon cutter to edge a bit of the bottom left grass (cherry orchard!) The earth was surprisingly soft considering we’ve had no rain lately.

I then watered beans, spuds and containers. I think one or two of the fuschias might recover. I had put them out and the frost got to them.

Then, at Slimming World I found I had lost 1 and a half lbs. (In spite of crisps etc. over the weekend) However, this was only taking off what I put on the previous week, so I am back to square one.

Today I have the dreaded church cleaning, then John and I are going out shopping. We were going to go to the coast, but need a few things for the house/garden so will probably just go to B and Q and the shops in St Andrews Quay, and have a panini in Starbucks. Bye all.

Oh, I forgot, we saw tiger beetles mating on our woodland/heathland walk yesterday. Here they are.
