This week I have had a red kite and a buzzard in the garden. Yesterday a magpie came into the house. Either something has died nearby or I'm getting a load of omens.

Today, two of the bluetits in my nestbox hatched. I have dubbed them Eggwina and Eggs Benedict II

Had my first visitor to my birdbox this week. A beautiful little bluetit. They've visited a few times and I'm hoping they're checking it out as a potential nest site.

Had Sunday tea today so I baked a Victoria sponge. Not Bake off standards but such a simple, delicious cake. Obviously, I've eaten too much

Catterick was an amazing, gripping, insane show. Loved it.

As my first post, I would like to show you this picture of Elon Musk surveying his Empire.
