Heron

The heron was standing at the waters edge before I went to the vineyard.  When I returned more than two hours later it was still standing there!  I was a bit worried in case it was looking for ducklings but I could only see adults on the lake.

Life has certainly picked up pace at the moment.  I am busy at the vineyard and the market garden and I am about to start a college course for a month called 'An Introduction to Gardening'.  I think some of it will be very basic but I am sure to learn something new and meet a different circle of people too so it should be worthwhile.  The pre-requisite of the course are an up to date tetanus injection and steel toe capped boots!!!

Heavy rain and thunderstorms have been forecast for today and it is just beginning to cloud over.  I don't think the weather has been too bad this June although my flowers are late to bloom and the wildflower patch is looking distinctly weedy!  I hope I pick up some tips on the gardening course to find out suitable plants to grow in my garden.  I will pass on any valuable snippets of information via this blog.

I am itching to do some crafting at the moment.  I may even make some paper tags again.  Do you remember the paper tags I used to make?  I used to really enjoy making them.  If you look under 'labels' on the right hand side of the screen you will see 'papercraft' and the old posts on tags will be listed there.
