Oooh fabulous! I managed to get a shot of the sparrowhawk we see once a year. It was on the trellis when I saw it, but when I had returned from getting my camera, it had giggled madly and flown into the tree.

I maintain that this design is one of the greats of the 20th century. The silver and red iteration is also iconic.

My preference is for the dark chocolate rather than the milk; controversial, I know.

Hedge news! The hawthorn is doing what it does after flowering.

We also have an outbreak of bastard foxes, who've taken to victimising our lawnmower by chewing on the lawn boundary wire. The lawnmower now has anxiety and refuses to go out because they don't know where they are.

So floofy! Even their little leggies!

I'm sat next to the behemoth pampas grass. It keeps shifting and clicking. It's awful stuff and I hate it. But ... it's also in the shade so I'm putting up with it.

Jealous of the attention the apple tree is getting, the young oak in the hedge has outsourced a fruit request. I suspect a wasp has fulfilled the requisition.

Determined today why maidenhair spleenwort is co called. Is it because the young plant has bounteous, bright curls, like that of a fair maid that caught your eye while you were idling over your cups?

Not so much. Is it because the old plant is PANT MOUSTACHE? Yes. Yes it is.

The holly is flowering, but it doesn't look right. Oh, that'd be honeysuckle.

Am having an Eve moment. Do I eat this fruit to become wiser? And by wiser I mean, work out if this is an eater or a cooker?

Today in the hedge I found evening primrose

I suspect the previous owner was either trying to start a business or self medicate

Morning womble! I've just started this by @deathbybadger.bsky.social it's made me giggle-snort at least twice in the prologue alone. Isabella considers her very beige husband as the most troublesome of her houseplants - I'm in!

Today in hedge news, the house acknowledges it's causing us stress, and sends us st John's wort.

Greenhouse rescue continues! The ivy is mainly dealt with, and my husb is replacing the broken glass with perspex panels. Our big question now is what to do with the missing door?

Husb suggests buying a new door, complete with the rest of a new greenhouse.
