Tomorrow work begins on inserting drainage channels and resurfacing the road leading down to the cottage. The heavy rains earlier in the year caused the road to be nearly washed away so it is going to be repaired and resurfaced. Our neighbour has worked hard at cutting back the vegetation along the side of the road. Bit overcast today with the odd shower so hopefully the weather will behave itself tomorrow for the work.
Wildlife is still aplenty. Frenzied bird life with regular visits from the great spotted woodpecker. The robins have been in hiding for the past few months until they have grown their bright new red coats but are now seen on the table. The blackbirds are back in town too. The pheasant chicks dine under the bird table and have doubled in size. We can now tell by their coloured tail feathers which ones are males. The red deer are often on the front bank and of course the cheeky red squirrels are always great fun to watch so close to the house.
