    Back garden birds.

    We recently moved to a village in Snowdonia. Having an interest in the local "tweets" I spotted Nuthatches, treecreepers and linnets as regular visitors to my garden. I thought great, I will have to get some piccies of those, but having put out feeders they seem to have disappeared. I set up...

    Not quite Brittany!

    Yes it's Llyn Conwy. We stuck with the single track road till we reached the moorlands. Then it's cross country. We have always been walkers though.

    Went for a walk up to a local lake yesterday and knocked up a quick brew before returning to Penmachno. Sorry, piccie was only taken on my phone. Greg

    Not quite Brittany!

    OK:D To get more back on track, we went for a walk from the village yesterday up onto the moors and a local lake. I felt I had to do something more outdoors while up there, so we took our bushbox and brew kit. Not properly in the true sense of lockdown, but I really felt the need to make a...

    Not quite Brittany!

    You don't see many Westfield's these days. I used to watch them hill climbing at Shelsley Walsh. I owned an S1 Elise for 14 years and only sold it when I started to look for a property to retire to. Do miss her though.

    Not quite Brittany!

    We have put out bird feeders in the garden and we have had some visitors that we didn't get back in Brum. These include blackcap, siskins, goldcrest, linnet, song thrush and all the usual suspects. Will try and get some photos in time. Already set up a suitable branch nearby to use as a perch...

    Not quite Brittany!

    About 20 months ago I posted a thread about a possible move to Brittany or the Peak District. Well we have taken the plunge but its neither choice. Post Brexit we gave up on the France option as I do have some health issues and was concerned about health care should I need it once we had exited...

    Merry Christmas

    A very merry greeting to one and all. I hope Santa is kind. We still haven't completed our move yet. Hopefully mid January. Santa Steve might have a few bits and bobs from us to donate to North Wood. Greg & Ali
