The turtles are still with us. Bearing the wintry weather. Which fortunately isn't very wintry at the moment. But not as sunny as they'd like either. Turtles make good pets. It's a pain to clean their ponds out. They do sometimes fight each other for food. One got so excited last week when I held … Continue reading Angus

After an unusually dry and mild rainy season, we've had an unusually cold, wet and grey period in the … Continue reading Summer Breeze
