Father’s Day – Up a Pole and Down a Hole

Alan Cole — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 17:06:02 +0000

Well, I’ve spent most of Father’s Day either up a pole or down a hole. I did go for a lovely open water swim in the sea first, but then it was all work in the garden. Up a Pole I was up the pole in order to replace the anemometer on the Borth and...

90 days from now…

I’ve just come across a photo of the water feature in our garden from November 2010 so thought I’d take a photo of it today for comparison. Strange to think that in just 90 days it could go from what it is now to the slightly colder looking version on the right. I guess that...

Water Feature Woes

The new water feature that we installed last July survived the winter, despite being turned into an ice feature. I turned it on a few weeks ago and it was working fine. It’s been going well and the birds love it, I checked it on Friday and all was still well, then Saturday morning it,...

Great Tits

With a title like that this post will no doubt get lots of hits, but it’s not what you’re thinking! It’s just that I managed to get a photo of a bird using the water feature and it just so happened to be a Great Tit. There has been quite a few of them on...

Water Feature for Garden Wildlife

Our new garden water feature has worked a treat. Not only does it look and sound good but part of the intention was to provide some water for garden wildlife. Whilst sat out in the sunshine late on Sunday afternoon we saw first a Willow Warbler take a bath in it followed by a Great...

Garden Water Feature

As you may remember, on our Anniversary day out in Welshpool, Anna and I spent more money than we had planned and came back with a water feature for the garden. We bought it from Derwen Garden Centre which was where we spent most of our day. They were all very helpful and we’re planning...

A Productive Day

What a productive day we’ve had today. I was up at 4am to investigate the contents of the moth trap. I then did a little bit of work and then after coffee and a quick catch up with Anna and Morgan it was time to start tackling the garden. It wasn’t that bad out there...

Derwen Garden Centre, Welshpool

Our parents had given us some money as an anniversary present so we thought we’d treat ourselves to some plants for the garden. So, as part of our anniversary day out we went to Derwen Garden centre near Welshpool. Derwen Garden Centre is actually one of three sites, that as far as we can tell...
