@GunnarSigge Yes. All good with me. Doing lots of different things now that I have “retired”. I’m so pleased you will be IFT President. Think you will be excellent.
The day has started well. A batch of swallows have just fledged, just harvested my dinner veg and there will be strawberries for dessert. Even the wild flowers are finally starting to bloom. Hard to beat home grown!
Tomorrow is the first day of summer and the start of International Clothesline week (it really is - 1st-8th June). Hope we get the weather in Carryduff to enjoy both! @bbcniweather #weatherwatchers
@barrhallM Yes - they are building nests in both boxes - but a bit behind schedule this year, probably due to the bad weather. Meantime, I have made a life size felted blue tit when I have time - can’t get into the garden (just learning how to felt!).
