Mine's supposed to be for Christmas. Somehow I think I'm going to have to order another panettone before then. I've seen an expensive yet delicious-looking one in Tesco.
I love Abergavenny. Superior quality charity shops, some nice cafes and only a short (by Welsh standards) bus ride to Hereford. It's only 8 miles from here but takes about 3 hours by bus 🙄 The market's not as good as it used to be though.
Mum took me to Abergavenny once, on the 'shoppers bus' from Swansea - on market day, and I'm still wearing the summer jacket I bought there, well over 10 years ago! We only did most of the main street, Mum had a sit-down while I whizzed along to & round the castle. But there were a couple of good cafes.
Just seen the woodpecker at the feeding station 🥳 Of course as soon as I'd moved away from the open window because I was freezing, 'e rocked up to guzzle the mealworms 🙄 Aber's great for a mellow mooch about and some lunch. Obvs there's loads of cultcha stuff to look at too.
My house isn't on the same level as the garden, and the windows are daftly high up. Even if I could pull of the necessary acrobatics to get the birdfeeder into a shot from the (very dirty) kitchen window, it'd be even shitter than usual. Stupid windows. Stupid house.
The house is about 18 inches higher up than the garden. Also I had to place the feeding station in a strategic location to protect it from the violent crosswinds, which makes it even more difficult to photograph from indoors. I didn't want to see it flying past the bedroom window during the winter storms 😂
Oooh, maybe! The neighbour with All The Tools has cameras all over his garden, I might barter some wood to get him to install it for me 😁 *checks ebay for birdcams*
I remember seeing someone on here who rigged up an old phone to act as a cam but that sounds too challenging for me. Any advice welcome 😊 Or I might just start putting bird food on the shed roof, which is much easier to see from the bedroom window.
For us it's the Co - which I like on principle, but not so much in practice coz so much of the food isn't actually food, just packaged chemicals; And then Waitrose - which is OK.
Please farm shops which we use a lot for veggies. It's all importanted though which is rubbish. We grow cauliflowers here which get sent to the UK to be wrapped in plastic, before being sent back to be sold to us on the island.
I remember this causing a bit of a stir on here a couple of weeks ago - was it you who started it? I've abandoned Tesco for Waitrose's Limoncello Fizz one instead.
