A pair of partridge on a wall.

We are so pleased to see these partridge return to our garden this year.
They must be nesting somewhere nearby as the male is around more than the female but here they are both sitting on our wall. The male has got quite brave & he sits grooming himself with the squirrels nearby but the female is very jumpy & soon runs off.

Three good things:
1. We were booked to have open house today with a few others in the area...such a good thing we are under offer as the weather has been atrocious....no wet feet tramping in & out...we are very thankful.
2. We have been to Dunhelm Mill for two continental pillows. The linen bed sets we have have square pillow cases & the usual pillows are the wrong size. To make our bed look even better we now have the correct size pillows!
3. We slept well in the new bed! Harry nearly fell out when he put his foot out this morning, he forgot how high it was! No back ache this morning either....only problem up to now is that as it has no bottom end the duvet was all over the place, not on my side either! 😨
Ha ha, love your story. What a palava though to get everything just right. Nice to hear about the partridge

Hee hee....I'm laughing as we had similar episodes with higher bed and no end duvet wandering!!!

No pear tree here for these two but a solid brick wall! Now I know why old fashioned beds always had bed ends! Some were quite high!

Lovely shot! I haven't seen partridges in quite some years. Glad to hear the bed was comfy, it did look as if it would be.

So envious of your partridges. Would love to have them in the garden. Good to hear you had a good night’s sleep in your new bed.
