The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Morning folks sunny n breezy here, will rest the old legs today and potter in the garden. Saw my first osprey of the year yesterday at Loch Brora and lots of sand martins. Have been buying various flowers to add some colour, i do like begamot and have grown 'cambridge scarlet' but couldnt resist this purple variety- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135006192370?_trkparms=amclksrc=ITM&aid=777008&algo=PERSONAL.TOPIC&ao=1&asc=20250324084321&meid=ee0874aa446845ddb92d3d97bac79c05&pid=101949&rk=1&rkt=1&itm=135006192370&pmt=1&noa=1&pg=4375194&algv=RecentlyViewedItemsV2WithMLRPboosterAndUpdatedFeatures_BP&brand=Perfect+Plants&_trksid=p4375194.c101949.m162918&_trkparms=parentrq:2e34f2651960a728673a5207fffe7726|pageci:07c56b51-183f-11f0-8690-fa736bec4c77|iid:1|vlpname:vlp_homepage

Same here, the apple and cherry blossom is out, the bees are various types and are making the most of it.🐝

I saw a few butterflies on our last warm day too. I hope there’s more than last year. It was very poor and I hardly saw any.

I have to admit, we didn't have many either in fact less than a dozen

Excitement for the day. Mr WD is laying the new vinyl in the porch.

I thought you said you were going to be doing that. As part of the decorating you were doing.
