Hope it doesn't rain too much over the next few weeks. I'm having an owl box made, so when my trees are pruned this year the tree surgeon is going to fix it for me. It has to be about 5 metres from the ground so I'm hoping to attract an Olly in the groove of the trunk.
Hope it works. It will cut the amount of pigeons too.
Cathy, I didn't know that figs ripened in this country, I love figs. When I lived in Kent, our house was next to a nursing home with a fabulous big fig tree in the garden. (I can't recall if it produced fruit), I don't know how old it was but it looked quite big and mature. It overhung our garden and gave us some privacy. I loved the big leaves. But eventually a neighbour next to the nursing home complained that the roots were too near his garage, causing damage , which I think was exaggerated nonsense. Sadly, however, the beautiful fig tree had to go, it was cut down and destroyed!
I'm sure most of us are aware the neighbourhood watch scheme.
Just this morning I answered the door to what you might call a scruffy , dodgy looking bloke enquiring if I wanted any gardening tools sharpened. He started off by saying he had done work for us in the past, when that it a blatant lie, I had never seen him before. I don't normally open the door to callers, but I did feel a little vulnerable, and quickly said, no thanks. Normally if I am on my own, I go out the back door and out the back gate to see who is there. They have no chance if they wanted to try something funny.
WARMING!!!

Due to the amount of snow, I'm having a rare day of lounging around doing nothing.
Most days are like that for me Lex, it's called being retired
Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.
Just relax and enjoy your Sunday lunch, then, have a nap, or maybe watch a film. We've had to clear the driveway of snow and getting to the garden we made a clear patch to feed the birds. It is still snowing though.

On the Buses.
During this cold weather I often feel sorry for young mothers waiting at the bus stop with their baby in pushchair and often can't get on the bus when the designated area for them it is already occupied by another mother with baby or a wheelchair. So it means the mothers with babies, have to wait in the cold until the next bus comes along. I know there is no easy solution to this problem, but I often think if mum folds up her push chair. it can fit in the little compartment used for bags, but this never seems to happen. Some baby buggies are small enough to fold up. I often want to suggest this but it is awkward.
