I’m grateful to my friend and neighbour, Kate, for the never ending display of birds outside the kitchen window.

I hadn’t realised that I could place the bird feeder so close to the house. I followed her example and now, as I stand at the sink, I have my own bird show.

Been making a meal of the rabbit all day long and now into the evening

Mabel is staying in her latest Amazon box – it’s just the right size

Nigel wouldn’t come in last night but kept on calling us – first at the back door then at the front door. We soon realised that he wanted us to follow him to the cat barn and admire his “kill”. I admire his hunting skills but wish he wouldn’t!

The goats are enjoying some free Brussels sprouts given to us by the shop where we buy the animal fodder.

And below what Nigel thinks of it all and the state of world politics. Sadly, Nigel, I’m with you!
