A warm kitchen, a plastic bowl, some straw, spore and water
And some patience…… and we have oyster mushrooms
Not my sky – but exceptionally stunning
My dear friend of over 40 years, who lives in Sweden, sent me this sky scene. They have had unusually mild weather and fabulous skyscapes.
One girl and four male admirers

Outside the kitchen door……
A pheasant
I think they’ve grown a lot and are getting shaggier

I will let it get a bit bigger. It’s one of my favourite vegetables.

While we feed the animals (accompanied by Nigel) she keeps warm on top of the radiator.
