Fantastic weather again-so glad I work part time. Busy day in the garden yesterday, tidying up and seeding lawn. Its very patchy and full of moss. Raking it left a huge pile of moss for the birds building their nests. Here’s half of my garden – it’s only small, with my summer house that I absolutely love and sit in as often as I can and watch the birds on my feeders. We actually jokingly call it my Wendy house! Does anyone know where that name came from for a child’s play house?
Here you can see some of the feeders I have.
And two of my very contented companion animals.
Walking my dog through the woods at Golden Acre park at the weekends is one of my most favourite activities. Watching Sparky hare through the trees after squirrels that he’ll never catch, seeing the birds and rabbits and the new growth as spring really gets going.
These photo’s all taken with my iphone. Pretty amazing piece of kit – I love it! Don’t love itunes though!!
Anyway, click on the thumbnails if you want to see the bigger version in all it’s glory.
I’m off now to have a blast on my motorbike. Kawasaki EN500
Just up the road from where I live, in North Leeds is Golden Acre Park. Its a great place that I visit often as it is one of Sparkys favourite walks. there is a biggish lake with plenty of wildfowl on, gardens and a cafe. It is well known in horticultural circles for the growing of flowers and vegetables – there is a special garden area for this. But the part I love is away from this area, into the woods and more open spaces. We call this the back of the park, where all the dog walkers go. It is reached from Arthington Road and there is a car park. If you walk from the car park off the path to your left and into the woods and just stand quietly you will generally be rewarded with many finches, tits, blackbirds and squirrels. At the edge of this woodland is where I first saw a tree creeper.
