It’s getting dangerous feeding the birds
The weather over the past few weeks has been grim. Dull, grey, damp and drizzly every day. However, we still need to get out and take Ruby for walks. It’s getting dangerous feeding the swans and ducks at Nostell Priory. The adult swans are fine as are the couple of Canada geese and variety of ducks that all arrive once they see you with food. The two cygnets that remain are a different matter. They just head straight for you to snatch any food from you. All we can do is make a hasty retreat when they arrive.

We’ve bought our potatoes for this year but how are last year’s keeping
We bought our seed potatoes from our local garden centre. We will be trying a few new varieties to us this coming season. I’m hoping that we do as well as last year. We are still eating last year’s potatoes which have been stored in the garage over winter.
