Monday Musings

Hello everyone,

Welcome to what was a beautiful day.  It`s now clouded over and I`m hoping that it will at least stay dry until the remains of my washing is dry.  The weather forecasters said it is supposed to be warmer today but I wouldn`t go that far, the wind feels decidedly chilly now the sun has disapeared.  Out walking with Jake this morning I really could have done with taking the camera.  First of all I saw a large dog fox along a path just few yards away from us, goodness knows what he was doing out and about at 11am, Mrs Fox would have been wondering where he was!  Just after that I saw a Great Tit sitting on a low branch of a tree and he was singing his little heart out.  Each time he paused from his warbling another Tit returned the call.  On and on it went and Jake got fed up with waiting and flopped to the ground with a sigh.  That was the signal to move on but I really enjoyed listening to the birdsong , one of nature`s sweetest sonds.

I took the above photos this morning when I got home from our walk.  The daffodils are called `Tete a Tete` and are a miniature variety with the heads no more than an inch and a half across with stems about 7" tall.  I bought a couple of pots of them for 99p for the two in Tescos last week, a real bargain because I`ll put them outside in tubs for next year.The crocuses are from my garden, the mauve ones are in abundance this year but the golden ones are not for some reason. 

Thanks for the comments you left on my entry for yesterday.  We would like to sell up soon rather than later but circumstances prevent us from doing so at the moment.  But we have had some insider information regarding the road where we live.  Also there is a new school being opened just a couple of hundred yards from our house.  The point is because the school is a faith school these particular houses are being snapped up by parents of  young children of that particular faith.  Alocal estate agent has told us that the house prices should go up by at least £20,000 in the next couple of years.  So it is definitely worth waiting for,  as we know for a fact that we could sell our house very easily even now.  In this town our area is much desired and most of the houses go for the asking price so we will wait and see.

Well that`s about it from me but I have some funny stuff for you.  Take care and have a nice afternoon.  Bye Bye for now.
