The bees seem to be loving the new garden pond. There were literally hundreds of them all lined up along the edges at the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a hedgehog visitor at the weekend too, and there was a cool photo of a stoat on top of a fence post in the dunes here posted on Facebook too. I also saw a kestrel hovering over the dunes on my way back from the beach – there must be lots of little mice and other rodents in the dunes for these predators at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a nice sunny weekend now and then with plenty of wind too so I spent much of it on the beach windsurfing. It’s not often we get to sail fully powered up with a 4.5m sail and small board amongst big waves in July. Somehow, the warm (relatively) waters and sunshine make things less intimidating out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
