It is where certain wedding rings come from I think.

Of course

That explains the grill over the top.

Yep. Has nothing to do with keeping herons or otters away

@Dirk
While on your rambles, if you happen to go this way.....at any time, no rush.......let me know what this place looks like.
I know at best you can only see the outside but any thoughts appreciated.
If you never go that way....no probs.

No probs, it's only 10 minutes up the road.
An old fishing mate of mine, Dozza, owns the Woolacombe Fryer - excellent Fish & Chips.
Will be over that way some time in the next few days. Do you just want me to go deep cover?

Apparently I've got to give the carers the clap at 8pm.

Can hear a few around here. Few pots and pans getting banged. I can’t be bothered with it.

We got rid of our washing line many years ago. We were innundated with Starlings and fed up with clean washing covered in purple poo.... from the berries they ate.

Hardly ever see starlings these days. 🤔

When I worked in Burslem every evening there would be huge flocks spinning round and round in the sky at sunset.

We've had a pair nesting in our eaves. Just fledged.

They did seem to be getting a bit scarce for a while but I think numbers have picked up a bit again around here.

Mr WD saw a green woodpecker tonight. The first time we have seen one around here.

We have several pairs around my way. Very distinctive birds. They don't actually peck wood at all. They eat insects from the ground and make their nests in natural holes in trees.

I have been out every week** and its been a good vibe in the close.
**I didn't go out tonight. My thinking was, when will it end? I have shown my aporeciation for 2 months.
MrsD went out and tells me loads were out.

@Dave7 - when we're you thinking of going to Woolacombe?

We did the first couple of weeks then stopped, a couple of weeks is enough.
