Born in May (to surrogate Bantie mothers) now nearly six months old
Time to move to the big pond with their “biological” parents and aunts
Cats (like children) like playing with cardboard boxes!
Who laid this teeny tiny egg?
About once a month we find a tiny little egg in the nest box but we don’t know who laid it.
Windy walks around Beeston
A quieter stop at Northill
Autumnal tree splendour in the front garden
(The five a side goal on the background somewhat detracts from its glory!).
A quick chat with the geese before nightfall
Then they went back into the pond for a swim before bedtime
Lift ‘em, sort ‘em, dry ‘em, bag ‘em, cook ‘em – potatoes for the winter. Plenty more to dig up and sort.
More Kilner jars go into the cupboard
Filled with sloes, sugar and gin.
Keep on shaking them every day until the sugar dissolves and then give them a shake whenever you remember. Keep hidden until December or the new year.
My early morning sky obsession continues!
