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.
