Minor mishaps, more rain & a jobs list 😀
Monday 21st October: We are rattling through the year now, always seems slower at this end than the warm end 😜 Weekdays mean I’m on the duty rota for the feeding and letting out of the birds. I do it slightly differently to John and prefer to keep the birds shut in while they eat…
