We are getting beautiful sunsets at the moment and here the golden light is streaming into our hallway and being reflected in the mirror.
The Long Tail Tits are back! We havent seen them for a couple of years but today they were feeding in the morning and again in the evening. The photos were taken on a very long zoom from inside the kitchen so that I didn’t frighten them off.
Early morning
5pm
We’ve harvested our first tomatoes today. The black one wasn’t really ready, the red cherry ones were delicious.

Thank you. We are lucky that the etched glass has lasted all these years. Our house was built around 1897 and the glass is the original. I was delighted with the effect of the golden light and the mirror. 🙂

I have never seen long tits in my garden, but I have in St Ives. A young buzzard was perched on the barn outside my window this morning. What a magnificent creature. Oddly it was surrounded by 4 magpies, who weren’t paying any attention to it.

Those Toms look so healthy. Nothing like homegrown.
