Sunday lunch and Feeding the birds

After my action packed Saturday, Sunday was destined to be a family day. We headed into Aberystwyth to get some supplies and then went to the garden centre at Capel Dewi. We hadn’t been there for a while and it has all changed, and for the better we reckon. There were new owners of the restaurant / coffee shop too, so we had a nice Sunday lunch there which was good and the staff were all very friendly.

It is also time to start feeding the birds a little more and Morgan is quite interested in them at the moment so we bought some new bird feeders and when we got back morgan helped me put them up around the garden. We never used to get much in the way of birds to the bird table, just sparrows, and the odd robin or chaffinch, but it wasn’t long before the place was full of starlings, and I’ve just taken a look out there now and joining the huge numbers of starlings was about 6 chaffinches, a robin, a couple of pied wagtails and even a blue tit.

Sunday was also pretty windy. It wasn’t forecast to be quite so windy and it would have been a good day for a speed windsurf session in the estuary, but my back was hurting so I gave it a miss and let Morgan look after me by bringing me a hot wheat bean bag thing to keep my back warm.
