As regular readers will know I’m excited that I now get birds frequently visiting my garden. Read this post to see how I managed it. This little robin bird is a new visitor and he seems to have taken to the robin solar light! I’m pleased that the glass paint makeover I did on the …
For a couple of years I never had much luck with feeding the birds. I tried peanuts, fat balls and hanging seeders (as shown on the right) but the food always went bad before it all got eaten. My neighbour behind me had better luck with plenty of birds visiting. So eventually I gave up …
Good morning. Today’s advent calendar is of Topsham estuary in Devon with a pigeon and Canada Goose looking as though they’re having a chat! If birds talk, I bet they would have a tale or two flying across the world!
My Ceanothus is in full bloom at the moment and the bees love it. So thought I’d share this bee video. I managed to get some bird song in it too, although the 5th attempt with previous versions having neighbours talking, traffic noise & whistling!

This week I’ve moved on from dogs to birds. If you read my post last year on seagulls you’ll know how they have annoyed me! Well it seems they are eyeing up my chimney breast and I am determined that they will not nest there again this year. Obviously I don’t want to harm the …
My Robin christmas decoration/sun catchers have literally been flying out of my house, which is great news. I’ve sold them on Folksy, in Quay Presents shop and on craft stalls. Shame I don’t get any real ones in my garden! It made me realise that I currently have a collection of birds for sale. As …
Every August Topsham art group has an exhibition (aside from the lockdown years). It is on for another week until the 26th August and includes a variety of artists work. This year I have two vases, one with birds of prey and a tall vase with a kingfisher and stream. I didn’t enter any wall …
I hope you’ve had some happy times this Easter despite the pandemic. I’m still yo-yo-ing, very much up and down but each day usually find something to make me smile, especially now it’s Spring. I love this Easter display at Topsham Museum in Devon, created by the volunteers. The museum is currently closed but you …
