love this time of year...I completely lose track of time...what day is it? The roads are quiet, the shops are quiet and the television is unpredictable....sat and watched Only Fools and Horses this afternoon. And as for the birds....the garden feeders are alive with finches....word has spread. The sparrow colony has increased in size and reed buntings have started to visit from the reservoir......all we need now is snow....not hopeful......
