First Snow 2

We had just come home from Geneva Park, where the last golden leaves of Autumn clung to the trees with stubborn but weakening determination. On Thursday afternoon, across the fields, came an army of tiny snow soldiers, gathering strength in their multitudes and hiding the hills as they grew in number.

Robin Debut



Posted by PicasaHatching amidst the hustle and bustle of the garden has been scary for our robin invaders. The three babies that emerged from the original four eggs, have been nervously watched over by their mother, with squawks of alarm whenever we passed by! That's what you get for trying to climb the ladder of success.

A mother robin made herself at home in our garden and gave Paul an airtight reason for no chores involving his ladder!

Our Own Personal Garfield

This is really Dido, who has a habit of dropping in on my mum in England for a visit. I think he visits elsewhere too, which is probably why he is so roly poly.

Bear Hill, Alvechurch

Posted by PicasaI walked this hill countless times over many years. It has stood for centuries, its houses silent witnesses to the stream of many lives. I wish they could tell what they have seen.

A cold day, but perfect for tubing--and that's exactly what we did.
