Number 88, Cockerel in the Garden!!



This is in my friends bantam White Sussex Cockerel in her garden. He's lovely isn't he!! She is waiting for one of her hens to go broody so she can hatch a clutch of bought White Sussex eggs, as she wants a full grown Cockerel, as this one is not up to the business!! (He's too small)

Number 86, Feeling Better!!



I was outside potting stuff up when I turned round and saw this!!!! The door is wide open and he's enjoying the sunshine, although he has had to have a trip to the vets as he had 2 abscess's forming so is now on antibiotics!! So it was as I thought a fight!!

Number 85, Poor Puss Cat!!!



Most people who read this blog don't read my main blog so will be unaware of my puss cats misfortune yesterday!!! I am pretty certain he hasn't fallen or slipped, as his back is so muddy and no matter what cats usually stay on their feet, I reckon this was a fight with the blasted feral cat!!!! To find out more pop to the main blog!!!

Number 83, Washing!!!



My dark wash hung out nice and early!! When I was a child my mum and her neighbour had this thing (for fun)about who could hang their washing out the earliest! I think its rubbed off on me, I love getting mine out really early, yet no body else round here hangs theres out!! You can't beat the smell of outside, dried washing!!!!!

Number 80, Bigger Gunnera Leaf!!



Not the best pic in the world but gives you a better idea. This plant grows enormous and to be honest I should never have planted it in my garden! I just loved it, lets hope by the time its taken over the garden I will be dead!!!lol!!!!

Number 79, New Gunnera Leaf



Yesterdays pic was indeed part of the Gunnera, well done Ruth! This is another part of it!! I thought it was a new leaf unfurling, but looking at the pic I'm not so sure, so will go and check the real thing later!!!!

Number 78, ?????



This is definately down my garden, (I took it Saturday) and not an alien! It is quite ugly really, but the whole plant grows into a magnificent specimen, this is the flower. I wonder if you know what it is?

Some clues: it likes the damp and at this time of year I have to protect it, but it is not a tropical plant. You see lots of them in Cornwall!:o)

Number 77, Do Not Disturb!!!



He always sleeps like this! In fact I missed a pic of him yesterday, under the dining room table flat on his back with all his legs in the air!!!! Shows he's relaxed and happy in his enviroment.

Number 76, Rookery!



Just down the road from me is where all the crows nest. There are not many nests at the moment and they are also quite low this year! I will take another pic later when there are more nests.

We also have jackdaws round and about. Crows have long vicious looking beaks, jackdaws shorter and they are more grey than the crows. Jackdaws like to nest in chimney pots!!!

Number 66, Skull or Dragon?



I wasn't going to post any more pics of this tree, but Tori and I where going through them all and came across this one yesterday. I saw a dragon or eagles head and she saw a skull, but neither of us could see the others view until it's features where pointed out. We found this hilarious, hence another bit of the tree!!

I must admit I really like this tree!

Mud and more mud!!! As I said the other day on my main blog, the Enviroment Agency are asking us to be careful with our use of water, because if its a dry spring and summer we could still have water shortage problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
