Blackbird Sings to Blue Tit Babes!

This is the Blue Tit nest box by the boat. The Mum is getting braver flying in and out while I'm gardening 3 feet below. The Blackbird is also a regular visitor and I put fruit out for him and his 'wifie'.
Last night at dusk I could hear the joyous song of the Blackbird and when I looked out of the bedroom port hole there he was on top of the Blue Tit box.

This morning we came back to the house for the night as I needed to check the garden and do some washing. I also made bread.
I did some weeding and earthed the spuds up.
We were thrilled to the patio that Michael next door has been laying for us is almost finished. He's made a really nice job of it. I'll Blip it when it's all finished ;-)

Bella May was excited to see all the neighbourhood kids and Bob next door.
It's always nice to see the neighbours and have a natter.

Well, some children in England are back at school now (Hellifield kids next week)
They interviewed some of them on the news and it made me feel quite sad. This what some of them said:

▪️I wanted to high 5 my friends but we weren't allowed near each other.
▪️We couldn't play tag like we usually do at playtime so we all just sat in a circle and talked.
▪️I couldn't hug my friend

The children were each given a see through plastic pencil case and a plastic bag with small toys in that only they could play with - no sharing or swapping.

I wonder how the youngest ones will cope.
Our Grandchildren live in Scotland and N. Ireland so don't go back till the Autumn term starts in August.

It's 9.30 pm and my book and bedtime.

Goodnight all. :-) X
