A Windy Morning

A good gust still brings aspen leaves fluttering down like confetti. I'm impatient to see the trees all bare because I tell myself-  unreasonably- the sooner we're into winter proper the sooner it'll be spring.

Ailz bought a big lot of bird food online from the RSBP.  We've got table mix, we've got cranberry flavoured suet nibbles, we've got dried meal worms, we've got suet balls. I put some of everything out this morning and now I'm waiting.

We are on flood alert especially round the creeks near Faversham and Oare. I just hope I am not disrupted for my journey to Canterbury tomorrow.

Now those are places I know well! :o)

We're just up the road in Gillingham.

As i reiterated on my own blog page. The wind is picking up with a significant chill factor. The birds are hammering away at the seeds and fat balls as i look put of my window..

You can get packs of bird seed and mealworms and whathaveyou - inc the RSPB brand in Poundland.

I don't start wishing winter away till after Christmas. Or I didn't, until I had achey dodgy joints.

We bulk buy. We have two boxes of assorted bird food. Each one as much as I can carry.

mmmm... cranberry suet balls. You could make mincemeat.

They sound good, don't they- but I'm not planning to try one.
