Our old friends from Glasgow have just gone home after spending a week with us. They have been coming here every year for the last 18 years and , over the years, we have become good friends. Last year we spent a long weekend in Glasgow for Helens 50th birthday and we had a great time, they all made us so welcome.
Just discovered a baby barn owl sheltering in the timber store. As soon as it saw me, it flew out into the garden so I wasn't able to get a good photo of it. It's fully fledged and is just trying its wings out.

The weather was glorious at the begining of the week so we managed to get lots of gardening done. Almost stepped on a baby hedgehog which was sleeping in the sunshine right in the middle of the yard !!. lucky I found it or it could have been run over.
At the bottom of our garden we have a 'pill box' which was built during the wa
r. When our children were small they called it 'the fort' and spent many hours playing games in and around it. Over the years it has become totally overgrown with ivy etc. We have finally had all the excess foliage removed and so it now makes quite a good viewing platform to look out over the surrounding fields.

Hope the weather is good tomorrow as we have a wedding party here. The 'Bird' family (good name for someone staying here!!) are here for the wedding of their son Russell.
