We had the most beautiful and warmest day of the year yesterday, so a friend and I went walking whilst hubby was fishing. We had a fabulous walk. Hubby's day wasn't too good as it was just far too nice a day for fishing. He called it quits at lunchtime, but went back at 9pm for a bit of sea-trout fishing on the river. I'm glad to report that he caught one fish, so his patience was rewarded. Lots of it is required for that sport!
Bella and I enjoyed our walk and chat. 23 km up our local hill, Morven, and a sighting of these tiny little pheasant chicks on the road home. What a delight. Mum pheasant was watching from a safe distance.
Today's task is putting up a fence in the back garden - not an easy task for us newbies, but we'll give it our all!
What a wonderful sight....it looks very cute sitting there, all soft & warm between the hard rocks! I am presuming the dry stone wall is finished, perhaps I’ve missed it!
Splendid encounter. We have had Red Legged Partridges in the further reaches of the garden, although none last year. However I suspect they're back, having see one in the lane a couple of days ago. Fingers crossed.
@happypat Yes, the wall is finished, and now we have erected fence panelling which sits on posts along the line of the top of the wall to give us back the privacy we got from our trees, before we cut them down. It also gives our neighbours back their privacy, and looks fine, as it is an extension of what exists already on other exposed parts of the wall. I think I may have to post a photo to show you ... it's difficult to visualise otherwise!
@jamibann Oh yes please....would love to see it, sounds the perfect answer. Your neighbours will be pleased too. We did the same on top of our brick wall between us & our neighbours in the renovated farm buildings.
