I'm pretty sure these are Roe deer ? This cemetery is a great refuge for wildlife, there are a few red squirrels in here too, but some greys have been spotted recently.

Yes, quite a bit darker than I’m used to. But muntjac like bluebells!

There's going to be tears on Sunday night, and they wont be Alec's. God knows when we see him again.

Really feel for you and sharing your pain. . They may only be little but they take up such a big place in our hearts.

Oh look. Another volcano crater.

Been waiting ages for this to open and because I have worked all week nearly missed it. One more lamb this morning and saw five Buzzards. No pictures because 1, I’m too slow and 2, I only have a phone camera.

Lovely to see the blossom at last

Lovely to see the blossom at last

That looks like Blackthorn blossom.

If so, when it blooms, it heralds a “Blackthorn Winter”, ie a sudden drop in temperature for a few weeks. (According to my farming friends. Personally I don’t have a clue).

This is a massive job, they removed all the old railway lines bridges stations from Denia to Benidorm and are laying new track interesting to see the way they do it by setting up the jig and concrete it in, no more sleepers and type 1 stone, is this normal all you train spotters. Bob.

Today's bike ride was interesting we ended up in a river bed, covered in and got wet trainers and trousers.
But we saw two red squirrels having a game but unfortunately through a chain link fence. Bob.

I love when my son comes home for a (socially distanced, bubble) visit - I get to eat my lunch in peace

We went on our first outing to the park yesterday. Granddaughter thought it was great having tea and sandwiches in the MH, also very handy when everything is closed

First day of spring, Marsden Moor

 

[bobandjanie]

Yesterday we walked anti clockwise on the Olta and this time right to the top, I thought this was my last post.

Keep away from there she said it's dangerous, as I had just clung on the side of the mountain getting up I had to have a look.

Another lovely day. Bob.

you must have a serious life insurance policy to let the lady keep taking you out for a walk

I'm having a day of rest today, because tomorrow we have a planned walk with our German friends, but Janie and Izzy are out walking with the holy ones today.
Izzy loves it, she gets a choice when we go shopping and doesn't leave her armchair. Bob.

Have you had a look under the draw, there should be label with the original guarantee.
My boss used to smash them up as a youth working for NCR.
I have owned a number of them, this one is great because its small,
it obviously American version made in Dayton, Ohio, nice to see the original marble slab and lovely brass screw heads.
The Amount Purchased sign will add to its value as they used to get broken off.

Thanks for the feed back! I worked for NCR most of my life and was working for them in Bermuda in 1984 which was their 100 year anniversary. We were all offered one of these solid brass cash registers made specifically for us. The trouble is after we had paid around $400 each they hadn't taken into account the weight and they were very, very heavy. They were made in Brasil and the postage came to around $400!!! I still have the certificate of authenticity that it was made specifically for me. I spent many happy years in Dayton, Ohio.It has languished in the garage for the last 35 years so thought it was time for a spruce up. Cheers.
