National treasures

I think it’s Hugh Grant standing behind Gary Barlow.... Nice to see some student activity in the city again. We’ve actually been ensconced at home today after my shopping adventures yesterday- I went to the garden centre, pet shop and into town - a shock to the system! I bought a new bird food dispenser to try to deter the squirrels and the pigeons and as far as I can see it’s working. Things are calmer in general though there was a bit of drama first thing with a row between a woodpecker and daddy starling over access to the peanut butter. The robin was wise enough not to get involved for once...

Weather: damp
Covid: vaccines work pretty well against the Indian variant.
Good thing: all by dahlias potted on, a couple of pots cleared of bulbs for summer planting and space made for the sweet peas.
Yikes is Gary Barlow a national treasure? Am definitely moving to France.

Student icons, I would never have guessed! Now I would say the shutters are the prize here! Good bird husbandry!

@fueast Alison, I hope he isn't, a man who dodges his taxes by "tax avoidance schemes" can never be thought as so .... We all have a moral responsibility to pay tax and NI. I think I had a little rant there !!!

Nice streetie judith

I love student randomness.
Good that you found a feeder to thwart the squirrels. They can wipe out a feeder in short order.

Not sure who Gary Barlow is but it makes for a fun photo.

Love this image and the bird story! Made me smile. Our daughter used to have a life sized Mr Bean in her Uni accommodation window. Made people look twice, so it did!

Yes I think it's taking us all longer to accustomise ourselves with 'normal' again but it will be good to see Cambridge buzzing again

Sorta creepy though. You will need some magpies in their referee uniforms to settle the differences.
