I went away for a few days to visit Martha in Essex. I came back with a tummy bug and have been feeling quite poorly. Today I feel normal again so I'm back on 365. It's a bit daunting to have been absent for 10 days. My postings will be a bit haphazard because I'll go forwards and backwards at the same time.
@amfrumbiddivurd Yes there are lots of them in the south east of England. Some escaped in the 60's or 70's and they've acclimatised, bred and spread. We don't have any here in Wales so I get very excited when I see them.
