Here at Yew Court we are getting worried about the lack of rain. Apparently in our area we have only had about 10% of our normal rainfall.Everything is very dry and the lawns are going brown. Richard has been watering the garden as much as possible but being on the water meter it is too expensive to water the lawns as well.
It keeps threatening to rain and when we do get rain it only seems to last for a very short time. Oh dear I hope we get a good long downpour soon!
The birds have been busy in the garden lately. There has been a lot of activity with nest building and we have some blue tits nesting in the nesting box again. We have seen baby blackbirds being fed by their parents and also some young bullfinches. I love to see all the birds in the garden.
We always make sure there is plenty of food for them and hang up high energy fat balls as well as putting out bread and other kitchen scraps. We also have lots of starlings and they are nesting too. As soon as I put out any food they are soon around collecting big beak-fulls and flying off to their nests and then the next minute they are back for more.
On the work front, I have made a website for my online local business consultancy work where I hope to help local business have an online presence. I am also making a website for my brother's new business.
Also I put a new theme on Richard's photography website which we are both very pleased with. It looks much more professional now and displays his photos much better.
More brownie points for me I think!
