Mudders hoping for a positive outcome for stripes
Holly hugs
Natty - I've put a new nut feeder and fat ball on the tree right by the family room/kitchen windows and have loads of blue and great tits visiting. I love the way they fly
Done a few pottering jobs, like emptying the compost into the wormery and making some scones and cake.
Just got to get the washing in and then collect DS3 from his badminton club.
