I've got my back pain playing up again, so it was a day of wildlife from my window.
We did sit in the garden for a little, while the Guineas played out, but the rest of the day was on the sofa.
We watched Luca and had the birds visit us!

Even with my back playing up, I had to have our weekly bath.
It ended up another green tub, not complaining though as it's my favourite colour.
The seagulls were going wild at sunset tonight.
Maybe they were excited for the Summer Solstice?! Probably not.
Considering that we're now actually 3 miles away from the coast, it makes me feel at home to have Seagulls and Black-Backed Gulls here.
No matter what people think of Gulls and Pigeons etc, I love them just as much as other birds.
I'm proud to have assisted in the rescue of a juvenile Herring Hull who was covered in oil
and a baby Pigeon who had been spray-painted blue, in past years.
All birds are beautiful 🦜🐥🦆🐦🕊️🦩🐧🦚🦢🦉

For the first day of Summer, Mother Nature finally graced us with some rain this month!
I love the sun as much as anyone, and Summer is probably the best season, but we need rain every now and again.
Look how happy this family of 4 snails are!

I love our front garden In Summer - look at it!
We preen it all once a year then let nature take over! So bright and happy.
It's all grown in so well that this year, that the hut we put in last year for Hoggle our rescue hog is looking very much at home.
The range of flowers and plants means it's well sheltered and protected,
you can see Mr H's hand holding the big bush back so we could get in to check it and top up the water.

Another milestone day today.
I had my first outing in a public place in over a year.
I won't be going anywhere else and probably won't do this again, but we were able to have a nice day disregarding the obvious.
(Don't be fooled by the photo, I had a mask on at all times except taking two photos because you can still get ill outside contrary to popular belief...)
We like to take Baker to Beamish because he can have a safe, stress-free walk as all dogs must be on leads and we are able to stick to the quiet places without many people.
It was nice to see our farm friends again (even if an evil woman did announce that the beautiful Turkey was 'Christmas Dinner') as well as all the other wildlife and trees, plants etc.
It's always nice to be out in nature and I think too many people are taking it for granted how privileged they are to have it right now.
Hopefully, we'll get one more visit before our Friends of Beamish passes run out and before the dreaded school holidays!
Obviously, I took way more photos so they'll be another set in an upcoming blog post talking more about how the day went.

Look who is back again!
That's twice in one week our camera caught Hoggle enjoying our wild patch
and this time he left us a nice poop too haha.
