Winnie

Winnie came round the garden this gloomy, damp afternoon and noticed me watching from the dining room. When she had sloped off through the hedge I popped out, calling her, and put out some food, calling again as I closed the back door.

A couple of years ago this might have brought her back to eat but, having been away such a lot at the start of last year, we rather lost the habit - or the trust. But she still visited the garden

So, imagine my delight in watching her come straight back for the food today, as though our old friendship was not forgotten. I took several photos from the utility room, and here she is.

Okay, she may have just been a bit hungry or ready for a treat, but she came, and it was good to see her.
