Percy the Pigeon

Last week we cleared the mess under the bird feeder and stopped puting Percy's favorite sunflower seeds on the ground, using only the hanging feeder for the sparrows and gold finch.

It took only a couple of days for Perc' to work out where his, breakfast, lunch and dinner had gone. After a few pecks at the container,

he finally worked out where to take the seeds from. Smart guy he is. 

St Fagan's Spring Visit

The start of the walk, the oak.

Pass the weeping willow

and the daffs.

                          

to get to the reason for our visit this day, the Magnificant Magnolia Tree. THE biggest ever seen.

The rose arches in early spring.  Will be a summer treat to see.

                                       

Picy 2 of the star.

A small clump of heather.

Picy 3, viewed across the pond.

The formal gardens of the Tudor House.

More daffs on the way back to the cafe for lunch.

Snooker Table

Table delivered. Cues to come. The first of a number of games for the residents.  

Goytre Wharf Visit

 After the usual lunch at the Penelope's Cafe

a north walk toward bridge 76

to take a strange selfie

and the very, very young lambs.

Barking

Preparing the ground.

Some lining to replace.

The bark is here.

Much smarter now.

Penarth For a Drive Out

In Alexandra Garden, tidied topiary.

 

All around. 

For the New B&W Games Room

First, a snooker table. Short of pockets, but getting there.

Clydach Vale Country Park

 

First the cafe for an early lunch.

A misty day, very damp, hence a short walk.  Spring visit now on our list.

Who you looking at?

Quite a variety of pond life.
