The early bird catches the worm...

....not necessarily so. We have spent quite a lot of time digging on the allotment over the last few days - through rain, hail, shine and pretty cold weather, this little robin has been with us all the time; he cannot possibly eat all the worms he gets as turves are turned so must be feeding a nest of hungry little ones.

May l thank all those who kindly sent me hearts and stars yesterday for the little Chinese carving on my 1,500 blip day, thank you so much, truth is l was a little taken aback at all those well wishers and am very grateful indeed.
