All gone!!! 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪



They were all there when I got up….. half an hour later and they had all flown the nest!  Awwww I’m gonna miss  ‘em.  So pleased I/we got to see the chicks tho.

Anyhoo, the Bedale Car Booty is on today to console me!

They had a blessed start in life @Miro, and now its time for them to make their own way in the world. They can walk within hours of birth and I hope they've found a place of safety.

I now have visions of them flapping about in the pond with tiny flotation devices attached to their wings 🤭

@YoungBlueEyes Oooh I do hope she comes back!!

@goldfinches. Aww, that was so nice of you 🥰

I wonder how imprinted the spot is with the ducklings too.  You might need to have a row of nesting boxes ready!!!

Happy to host ‘em anytime….Airb’n’b for ducks 😁

Anyhoo, back to business….fab morning at the Bedale Car Boot Sale…came away with a BNWT M & S dress for £5, a B/N M & S swim suit, a Laura Ashley skirt and a Laura Ashley jumper, all 3 for £5 from another seller.  Then from Northallerton CRUK a b/n burgundy Austin Reid jacket for £5.99.  And a hydrometer testing thingy for plants for 99p.

Thank you for the Duck story Miro, that was just what I needed tonight.

How lucky were you (and Daphne) to have an experience like that

I would post a picture of my Charity aquisitions but so many it would be hard to choose.

My last was completely useless and a pretty herb painted, giant cup and saucer for plants. I was thrilled because it's a really good one - then I remembered I'd have to water it every day through summer !

Perhaps I'll turn it into a miniture pond/water feature. That will have the neighbours convinced I'm nuts instead of just thinking it

I popped back into Barnado's this afternoon and to my delight the BN books were reduced to 50p each (to make way for new titles arriving next week, I was told). Happy days, my purse is £3 lighter and my bookcase 6 books heavier .

Love the swimsuit Miro

Planter with hole £1.45 and it's huge!

Unfortunately I then fell for the plant which undid the saving

I love the planter, its such a good find. I have similar without a saucer, I think it cost £5 from a chazzer quite some time ago. The saucer is very necessary as it stops the plant from rooting into the ground (as I found to my cost when I tried to move it!).

I had some good finds today, including a LED hoop light.

I went exploring in Heswall earlier and came away with a hardback vegan cookery book (£1 from Air Ambulance), an M&S jumper and a floaty summer dress (each £5.99 from Oxfam). There were a few other charity shops but they weren't open with it being Sunday. Worth a look, though, as it's a 'nice' area and that was reflected in the quality of what was in the charity shops.

Love the plant and planter  

Despite not needing anything I bought these at the weekend - £2 and they make me smile every time I go in the bathroom  

Himself put them up, and yes I’ll be taking them down and putting them back up properly centered today 🙄
