Today is a good day

Some days, you just feel good, without being entirely sure why.  I guess the sun has been shining, we've done loads of work on the allotment, the baby dunnocks in the garden have been vocal on top of the mulberry tree (they flick their tails while calling 'feed me, feed me!'), I just beat Richard at 'Ticket to Ride' by tactics rather than good luck, and life is generally getting better all round.

Today's tip for being happy:

Plant ivy.  Overgrown ivy on walls and fences is the perfect des res for dunnocks. 


This year, we've had blue tits in the nest box (they one they turned their noses up at last year), dunnocks in the ivy, and right now, the blackbirds are working hard at their nest in the wisteria over the lounge window.

Remember, climbing plants make excellent cover for birds.
