And the old saying you’ve got egg on your chin, meaning for those good living people who don’t know nothing, your flys open. JS.

Re: Summer visitors
Lewis way down south in the Republic they are not allowed to cut the hedge rows at certain times of the year due to the amount of wild life living there.
But here in Oz wild life is abundant, from our big Red Roos down to our politicians.
We have so many birds I lose count of them.
Two Blackbirds that sing from morning to night, Doves by the dozen, Myna birds both Asian and the Noisy ones Sparrows by the dozens.
Cockatoos by the flock regularly fly over, a host of other local birds.
A family of local Magpies we regularly feed, the female taps on the door and can be hand fed.
Two Australian Ravens that come down every night for food.
We put out a mixture of bread and bird seed every day and have an abundance of plants, bushes and trees around us to attract them all


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: Summer visitors
I used to enjoy lying in my tin bath with the blackbirds and pigeons while doing the Times crossword then my neighbours put a trampoline up against the wall. Life isn't the same.

Re: Summer visitors
#16 Louis is that because those using the trampoline can see you in your tin bath, or because it annoys the birds .JS

Re: Summer visitors
#18... Denis I have a few words by William Shakespeare ( I wish) hanging in the appropriate place and the latter half reads..
.... what used to be his sex appeal ls now his water spout,
It used to be embarrassing to make the thing behave
For nearly every morning it stood and watched him shave
But now it’s getting older it sure gives him the blues
To have it dangling down his leg and watch him clean his shoes.
That’s for the youngsters, at our age I can’t even get down to clean my shoes that’s even if can see them not too clearly.
JS.

We have the same rules in England, cannot say about the 3 independent states in the UK, strictly applied in our locality as we live in a conservation area (pain in the butt) have to get permission to cut a tree branch. Mind you potholes in the road are protected all year round it would appear.
