No final for us and lots of birds

I felt for my hubby as we watched a disastrous play off second leg for the Pirates last night. Poole are not going to be champions this year! It wasn't an easy watch and he was sad they did not go through.

It has been a relatively quiet weekend here. I have been so much better healthwise but had a little relapse yesterday so we have taken things steadily.

We did venture out to look at the new I Phone 11 Pro and I think one of those might be on my Christmas list, although I would need to be a very very good girl for Santa.

 

We spotted some new birds in the garden today - a little flock of long-tailed tits - there were 7 on the feeder at once. I thought it would be interesting to share the birds we have had as visitors in our garden - some are quite unusual!!!

Crow

Heron - a regular in our trees much to our neighbour's dismay - he loves their pond

Buzzard - our favourite to watch riding the thermals

Greenfinch

Goldfinch

Chaffinch

Chiffchaff

Jay

Pheasant - don't see them any more but for 2 years they came daily and were hand-fed, banging our patio doors if they wanted food and it wasn't out!

and we hear - but haven't seen - nightjars very very often

 

I have done a lot of new scrapping but it is all for release on 1st October so I can't share it yet so here are some other pages I have not shared yet. Seriously I make so much new stuff I can't possibly share it all -

 

This was back when we were all doing the diagonal challenge - lots of die-cutting here

 

 

 

Portland lighthouse int he sun - that was a first

I love this photo of Nigel, his brother and his nephew at our niece's wedding in June

 

 

and a digital Minnie - well just because!

 

 

Apologies for the brevity. Just off to collect my brother in law who is over from America.

 

Today I am thankful for

• quiet days and restful times

Wow! What do you feed the birds that make them want to come to YOUR house to eat? :-D
Lovely layouts. You just knock them out like crazy.
So sorry to hear about Nigel's team not making the next move. There is always next year :-)
