Tuesday. Still a bit quiet in wildlife land. They will be wary for a while. The dawn chorus was giving it some welly though! Singing their little hearts out. Lovely to hear. It seems some of the lads...
Sunday. A bit dryer this morning...well, a lot dryer this morning! Lots of belligerent cloud lurking about. I don't trust 'em! I had to call off the charter yesterday, it was just to dangerous to go....
Saturday. Too wet for walkies this morning. Heavy storms through the night resulting in two power cuts. The celestial pyrotechnics were entertaining though. One hit the ground about 300 yards away in...

Wednesday already! I was late in last night, after a wonderful talk by a Spitfire pilot, Flt Lt. Maurice Freeman DFC. He talked of some of his exploits during the war, including how he met his wife,...
Tuesday. It's only just stopped raining, so no walkies this morning. Tiggy and foxy were both in and out a bit sharpish. The charter yesterday went well. A WI group, all completely mad! Much laughter...
Monday is here again. Not a cloud in the sky, so the washing can go on the line. Wonderful! The stars put on a beautiful display and some high flying aircraft going about their business. I have a...
Sinday. Lots of evil looking clouds lurking with intent. It's going to piddle kitties and pups later. Not on the canal today, but lots of catching up to do here. Foxy and tiggy were in as usual. Foxy...
Saturday. An early start today. The routine has changed, I'm doing the heritage centre today instead of tomorrow. I'm going down early to fill the boats diesel tank up before the charter. The people...
Friday. A lot of cloud about, but I'm hoping it will clear as I'm on the canal today and tomorrow, sunday I'm in the heritage centre. Good weather would be nice. Too much to ask for? We shall see...
Thursday. Lots of deer grazing on the hillside. I love to watch them. Some young badgers out play fighting and having fun, the pair of foxes heading for their seat for the dawn. Unusual to see a pair...
Wednesday. A guess someone was around before me again this morning as all the usual suspects were not about. So I did a close search but found no traps of any description. It is a bit damp thought,...

Monday. The sun is coming up. The washing can go on the line. wonderful! We had dinner indoors yesterday. It looked clear, so I thought I'd set up outside. I'd put the table in place about 8 feet from...

Friday. This 'ere poota is still playing silly games. So if I disappear that is the reason. Some gremlins got in yesterday and I had to get me big 'ammer out. I sqattalised most of 'em, but a few are...
Wednesday. A clear sky again this morning. The wildlife getting back to normal, which is good to see. The pair of foxes were not in place to watch the sunrise, but I did see them on their way, having...
Tuesday. No more traps out this morning. Word went round and I wouldn't be surprised if a visit and a word or two happened. I will know by the end of the day. Someone had been around before me, so the...
Monday comes around again. I wondered where all the wildlife was. Only a few deer on the hillside. Then I found a trap that had been set during the night. To say I was angry doesn't describe it. I...
