That's June nearly gone,20-24.6.2024.

 The weather has now taken a turn for the better and not before time as it's nearly the end of June.

We were at our favourite watering hole on Thursday (Bridge View Café) 

Always boats passing though.

 The dogs seem to love it as much as the people .

Plenty of young Canada geese about, one proud mum even brought her babies into the café garden area to show us.

Friday I went down to Reddish Vale and as it was a nice day stayed longer than usual, had a nice chat with a young lady called Emily Dixon and gave her one of my home made hot shoe covers.

Then we saw this heron in the bushes, not a good shot but at least he showed us where the Kingfisher was

Its got something to eat there.

Not a good shot.

Then Mr King obliged us and posed on this stump

On the lower mill pond there were these little cuties

Plenty of Canadian Geese babies about.

 Plenty of young Mandarins about too.

Holding their own with the pigeons.

The terrapins were out in force, getting some rays!.

These two huge ones were on the top mill pond, in size they are bigger than a dinner plate, must be quite a few years old by now.

Young Nuthatch enjoying the seed.

Young Moorhen.

This Male Mandarin hiding, perhaps embarrassed without his colourful feathers!, at least still got his colourful beak.  

The Lady Sarah doing her bit for the park, as well as dispensing nice coffee and snacks.

More days for us at Reddish Vale Sarah.

................

Meanwhile back home the Young Goldfinches are all doing well.

Had to stay in today  Monday as the gas man was coming to service my boiler, nice pleasant young man, I cant fault Brit Gas, there will be others who will say different, which just goes to show "You can't please everyone".

They changed my Carbon alarm as mine was years old and it says on it only good for 7 years, so replaced mine with a more modern one that's good for 10 years, do I need one that good at my age though!!😂😂

Why do we us the word "Politics" to describe the process of government?.

"Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "Tics" meaning Bloodsucking creatures.

.............................

Why did the Israelis stay out of the Gulf war?,

Because the last time they spoke to a Bush they spent 40 years wandering in the desert!.

............................... 

What's the difference between the government and the mafia?.

One of them is organised!.
