Monday morning feeling


Mushroom on the way

I took the chance booking the day off work a few weeks ago. Thankfully there was clear skies above and abundance of things to see. Blue tits and Long tail tits still proved to be allusive but could be clearly heard in the hedgerows. A buzzard and Kestrel on the wing were a welcome sight also along the way while chatting to ladies out birdwatching. We discussed what we had seen such as a Heron in a nearby field we thought possibly looking for worms as was the Buzzard. In the woods close to Waterloo farm mushrooms protruded from there leafy hideaway around the tree roots. The woods would make a good wildlife nature trail with a bird hide as suggested to the landowner this morning.
It's Sloe time soon again I  look forward to producing more this year. I plan to make a label this time and call it Sloe Walkers Gin.


Sloe Walkers gin coming soon
