It's so exciting to hear about your adventures (keep at it as it's reminding me to use all the hotel toiletries Mr M brought back, rather than hitting the shops. :rotfl:)

You are a true inspiration :T Enjoy your freedom!! xx

Did someone say party? Who is heading away that we can gate crash?

Hey gally!

I was thinking of you on Wednesday - hope your ears were burning! We were out and about, abroad in the great yonder, and saw loads of yellow wagtails. I bounced on here to tell you all about it - only to discover that several months ago, you were excitedly telling us that you had seen your first ever grey wagtail - not yellow wagtail! (I remember you mentioning it, but got mixed up as to what version you had seen! )

Fast forward to today, and I hope that your ears were burning again, as whilst we were once again enjoying the delights of the British countryside; sitting munching a picnic by a stream, what did we spy? But a pair of grey wagtails. I'll freely admit, we thought that they were dippers to begin with, but as we watched them, and noted that they were acting in a wagtail way, I said to DP that I thought they might be grey wagtails. Got home and mrg0ggle said they woz! Very, very grainy pic from my point and squirt camera for you to verify as a grey wagtail......

Gally, apart from the long distance management of the BTL properties, are both you and Mr GG fully retired now?

As Churchill would say...... 'Oh yes' .

Thanks for pic GP but sure you have better things to do on your walks than talk about me :rotfl:. No pic I'm afraid as too grainy on phone, but we saw a Little Bittern the other day :T. No-one had told it it's supposed to be reclusive as it was strutting it's stuff round the water at a restaurant we were at :j.

Ay, but we've dropped really lucky this week, with the things that we have seen (we also saw 3 fallow deer as we were cycling through the forest ) but I think that because we have come to appreciate the 'little things' so very much, we are minded to think about people who mention them too
