Bird poo

A letter to the birds that live in our tree

Dear Birds, What did I do to you? Why do you hate my beloved Igor? (Yes that’s my car’s name.) Is it because the beautiful shine of the car roof is making you squint so you can’t sleep properly? Perhaps it’s because we’ve painted the fences blue and you’re a Manchester United fan? I know [Read On]

Prepping for BBQ Season With a Bargain Bench

Not long ago I won a B&Q voucher from a Zoopla competition and I gave Joe free reign of what to spend it on. He’s been itching to do more work in the garden after all. Whilst I was away for the weekend in London, he went and bagged himself a bargain bench and on [Read On]

Wishlist Wednesday – Garden Friends

A short but sweet post today. Just a little something I really loved and would be so chuffed if it ever appeared at the end of our garden. When we were in  Cuba, the hotel we stayed at had these little creatures – animals made from old logs, branches and rocks. And let me tell [Read On]
