1st February 2024 - Winter Walking - and shoots appearing

Thought for the day :" I once lived a stone’s throw from a family who all died of mysterious head injuries"


Rain 21 : dry 11

Was very brisk and frosty this morning and we seem to have managed to stay away from rain today - which is quite a feat .

This evening we had some very loud low flying planes - I remember when we were in Llanelli that we heard the planes when they started doing training at the bombing range, it gave portends of new military actions in the 90's and 200's...   wonder what the low flying night training is meaning for us today ...

In other news, it was a good day for walking and looking for the first signs of growing things - especially in those areas where I have planted bulbs and would like to see if there is life to come..

This is how the duck area looks in Winter

Taken back some fencing and getting ready for the automatic duck gates
