Welcome to my new Blog



Welcome to my Blog.
My Blog is mostly about my hobbies, ie Model boats, Cross Stitch, Gardening, Days out and about, Lego Technics and Photography you might recognize the hat rather than me. My models and other hobbies can be found in the Tabs at the top below the header picture.
There will also be entries of days out with my camera, weather permitting of course.

Easter weekend, 2025.

Not been on here for quite a while, but not been idle at home and been down t the Vale a few times over the past few weeks!.

Is Spring here, don't think so yet it's still quite cool out of the sun.

Went to the community garden for a change.

Jill's Mum's bench.

Terrapin on Sunnyside pond.

 Blue tit at Sunnyside pond.

Little grebe on Sunnyside pond.



Female Bullfinches



Saw this Jackdaw at a nest site and then realised it was probably looking for an easy meal.


Great tit 

Male blackbird.

At Bridge View café this week plenty of activity on the canal and inside with the kids off school.

Paddleboarders 

Walkers and cyclists

Back at home, changed the Buddleia in the front garden for a Hydrangea and added a few Geraniums. 

Been cutting down a biggg conifer in the back garden with my mate and neighbour, it got too big!.

The small hand chainsaw I mentioned in my last post came in very handy and cut though the branches and trunks of the tree with no trouble.
The price on Amazon has gone up now, must have realised how much people are liking it.
Chris cut this with his handsaw though, and we were lucky that some workmen renewing a roof opposite had finished and allowed us to fill up their skip which was good because we had filled our green bins to top top.
Good job we don't live in Stockport as the council there have started to charge the residents there an extra £55 on top of their council tax "What a **** liberty" 


We renewed a section of fencing as well between our gardens.

Bought a new plant for the top of Alfie's box, I usually do alright with plants but I think the heat from his lamp mustn't agreed with some plants.


Alfie's dinner today with melon and grapes on!.

Well that's caught up with my news for you, promise I won't leave it so long next time.
