...but found another edible fig on tree on Friday! There were some strawberries that had been eaten, a few unripe and a strawberry flower.
Today is very damp and mild in Cardiff.

On Tuesday I was in garden and noticed one of figs had a sheen to it and I wondered if it was ripe and edible. My lover tried it and reckoned it was perfect. I also noticed a flash of red and discovered a few wild strawberries in the herb patch which were also eaten with relish.

We've had a couple of frosty nights since, so I've stepped up bird feeding. I have my usual crop of sparrers, pigeons, opportunistic magpies a robin and some blue tits. I definitely have a pair(make your own jokes!) but can't decide whether there are actually four of them as they move so quickly! I've been having to break the ice for then to drink and bathe as it's got quite cold suddenly.

Garden still doing well and my cyclamen are still going strong despite two frosty nights.

Just realised Usksider hasn't blogged about Felindre. He posted pic of tree and I mentioned Felindre, so it was him responding to me and there are no fab pics of Felindre from him. Oh, well...

...juicy rather than electronic!

My lover has been a bit poorly so was unable to travel down to see me, so I went West and took him out for a few hours to Felindre reservoir* and we spotted some blackberries! I was quite perplexed as I could see how shrivelled most blackberries were - So Devil had obviously been on his grounds. My lover then noticed some bramble in flower and we realised we were looking art a second or subsequent crop. There were very few, but he tried one and it was very sweet despite being very small.

*Usky,
Just googled Felindre reservoir and found your blog entry! I've hardly posted nor read up on friends for a while.
