Apologies for the absence of any news since October. We have been away on holiday to New Zealand and Australia. Had a great time but the weather was terrible everywhere we went. In the whole month we only had approx seven sunny/hot days, so I don't want to hear anyone ever complain about the British weather again!
Unfortunately, while we were away, that evil fox got into the compound and killed another 3 geese. We've only got 7 left now and we have had to start penning them up in a shed at night for their own safety.
There's lots of tidying up outside to do. Everywhere is thick with leaves which need sweeping up and all the tubs and baskets need replanting with winter flowers and foliage. We must get it done by next weekend as the Christmas lights will need putting up shortly.
No further progress on the hide yet but will keep you informed.
Went into Liverpool on Tuesday evening and walked around the new shopping precinct 'Liverpool One'. It's fab, even though the shops were shut it was really lively and energetic. There's loads of bistro's, bars etc and it was great fun.
