Friday and a lunchtime visit from Vic - managed to find some wellies to fit him and went down to the paddock in the sun ...  He seemed to enjoy ... 

Sadly, after going home he got confused by getting a letter about Christmas Meals and paying in advance - he doesn't get his meals made by Cwm Aur and so was irrelevant to him - but of course it caused him worry!! Told him to throw it away - hoe he does ... But here are pictures of him at Ffynnon Wen.

Checking the pruning

He thought the garden was a bit big !!

Susie has pruned the Kiwi Fruit so we have a fence again 
Suppose that means I have to paint it !

The Rhubarb bed and another Raspberry Bed dug

Trail Camera failed again so may not have wildlife down there at the moment - perhaps some things are hibernating ... will keep it running ...

Bit of a scare in Crete as Bunnie was taken to hospital after collapsing - apparently home today and no real reasons other than overwork and exhaustion  - so sad that we cannot be there to help ...

So, it is Friday evening and another week towards the end of 2020 - 
Nothing achieved in the garden today as I was commuting to NC Emlyn  / Llanybydder / Ffynnon Wen

shopping and getting more corn and growers pellets - also Susie has bought another bird feeder to tempt the Robin to eat by Susie's comfie Seat  so I found some meal worms - though they turned out to the pellets with 0.4% of meal worm in them - but the magpie's seem to like them - the Robin has not tried yet ... :(

In other news - Susie has also bought a fancy Green Man Style face to put onto the telegraph pole - as a Bird Feeder - pictures tomorrow - she will be fixing it as it was her idea - a good one ! I will take the photos ...

She managed to clean the Chicken and clean the fire glass while feeling rubbish all day - went to bed early - hoping she is feeling better today - water bottle has been a blessing today ..  Though can't seem to get the immersion heater working properly. Send the meter readings off tonight so will see what our costs are here - looks like we will need another load of logs .. To be honest - not sure that I worry - just put another couple of logs on the living room fire - it is doing well ...

So - with that ...

Cheers !
