Happy Twosday

Whatever way up the 22nd February 2022 is a very special day. A "Once in a lifetime" day and there won't be another one like it for 200 years.

Palindrone Day is when the day’s date can be read the same way forwards or backwards.

I looked out the window to see the moon setting around 8am and took a shot of the golden sky at sundown.

Winter drops at RHS Garden Rosemoor.

Well we've certainly seen some dark and moody times of late so where better to enjoy some vibrant colour on a rainy Winter's day. Gold and crimson hues and a dash of green as the Snowdrops emerge underneath the Dogwood. Leafless but not lifeless, Cornus alba 'Sibrica' sets the scene beside and just beyond the lake. From peaceful Japanese tranquility to hilarious looking spikey haired "Flowerpot Men" a walk around certainly lifts the spirits.

Watch the Birdie. Are you ready for the Big Garden Birdwatch 2022

The wind and rain of recent months has subsided and there seems to be a lot of fluttering in the garden at the moment, so thrilled that in addition to the regular visitors we now have a Male Bullfinch and a Nuthatch visiting each day, I do hope they stick around for the Big Garden Birdwatch at the end of the week. I regularly submit my results each year, here are my results for 2021.

6 Sparrows - 3 chaffinch - 5 goldfinch - 7 Starling - Blue Tit - Coal Tit - Wren
Dunnock - Robin - M & F  Blackbirds but they came later
