The wandering welder has got a bad back, it’s gone into spasm.
Don’t worry my darling I’ll take care of you. There’s nothing to be afraid of.
I’ll soon have you back wriggling round in them boilers.
‘But I’m retired’ said He.
Don’t worry I can fix that as well’ said I.
Meanwhile back in the garden I’ve been doing my own version
of Springwatch.
Mum & Dad blue tit are doing an amazing job in keeping their babies well fed.
They are in and out of the bird box every couple of minutes. We can hear the chicks
squawking for food from our front door.
Sadly I don’t think these two will hatch. Mama thrush has abandoned
the nest. She made it to low down and gets disturbed every time we
come out the house.
Enjoying the May sunshine are the blue and pink bells.
They are so pretty.
The other week when I found the antique chestnut roasters that
I’m using to weave into
We also came across this
It’s a piece of cut off scaffold board with rope tacked round the edges
and an old pair of clogs nailed on the top. It may come back in the house
yet, I’m still messing about with it.
I’ve asked the garden fairy to provide us with some more sunshine please
and a bit of magic potion to make the wandering welders back
better soon so that we can go and open up our caravan for the season.
There’s always bluebells in abundance there and sweet wild garlic to be picked.
If you want something to smile about, pop over to
Have a lovely weekend
The best is yet to come.

I really hope his back is much better very soon and he survives the treatment 😂😂😂 I love the blue bells...sadly many appear to not be English blue bells.

I do hope his back is better soon. Speaking from experience, a 'bad back' can really wear you down.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to watch the baby blue tits growing, but sad about the thrush eggs. I love the pink and blue bells. As you say, they are so pretty.
The recycling projects are fun. Well done on rescuing some otherwise unwanted items and making something beautiful with them. Kate x
Oh, poor Philip! I hope his back is better soon! How lovely to have blue tits nesting in your garden. We used to have a nest in our bird house every Spring, until it got damaged beyond repair. So sad about the thrush eggs, though. That board with the clogs nailed to it made me chuckle. What a brilliant idea to use the clogs as planters! xxx
ReplyDeleteOh dear, a bad back is no fun at all. But I can see you will look after him very well! I hope he recovers soon with lots of rest and good care you give him.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the blue tits. And a shame about the bird who built her nest too low....
The clogs are great. Being used to seeing Dutch clogs, it was interesting to see these, that are English I presume. (We Dutch also put flowering plants in our clogs).
I love your weaving projects.
Have a lovely weekend,
Hugs,

Here's me thinking The Wandering Welder would be better and now he's stil;l suffering poor might. I'm late today as we've been shopping for some new pond members which seem to be settling in okay so far. We have Blue Tits too and they sure are busy at the moment, there can't be many caterpillars left round here! Your garden's looking lovely too. Wishing you a very happy Bank Holiday, Angela xxx
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I'm so late visiting. I couldn't leave a comment earlier. I think Blogger is trying to give me a heart attack.
ReplyDeleteI can empathize with the Wandering Welder. Back pain is NO fun.
I have never seen a blue tit, or any tit for that matter. I don't think we have them in the states.
I really LOVE what you did with the board and flowering clogs. Simply stunning.
Have a great rest of the weekend. Now, if I can get this to publish, I'll be super happy.
I'm reading your posts backwards so I'm pleased the bad back isn't quite so bad!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting about the nest, I think we've got activity in our bird boxes, we've seen fluttering! I love the planted up clogs, what a fabulous idea! xxx
