sarah and kenny popped out to visit the crab - and deliver the angry crab! he’s so ace and looks great sitting above the fire in his angry fiery rage. we had a good laugh as always...even when I was at my most ill last year and sarah visited me in hospital, we were still belly laughing together.

dougal is spending most of his days tormenting the black birds in the garden, I can hear them shouting at him. we saw four swifts flying above meldrum last night and today. I’m desperate for them to nest in our new swift box, but no sign yet. fingers crossed.
