My weekend has been very quiet but productive. I did a bit of tidying in the garden yesterday morning, then, after a sit down I planned to mow the lawn, however as I approached the back door this is what I saw
two wood pigeons
preening, resting and gleaning
I took the photos from indoors because they would have flown away if I had opened the door. I didn't have the heart to disturb them, they looked so content! so I decided to put lawn mowing on hold and start some quilting. I haven't done any for ages and really enjoyed it.
They were there for over an hour then eventually they wandered off but by that time I was well into the quilting and didn't want to stop. I mowed the lawn this morning.
That gnome is my favourite, it's a man and his dog,
my daughter bought it for me.
This afternoon was the last of the summer cream teas on the church lawn, and once again it was well attended and the cakes were delicious.
I had the toffee fudge on the left, it was scrumptious. The lady that baked it makes excellent cakes. I was late taking photos, too busy talking and eating cake!!
I hope you've had a good weekend dear reader

Those cakes looked delicious, sounds like a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteThere's always lots of delicious cakes 😋
DeleteThe summer cream teas looked like they were heartily attended and from the treats you showed, Polly, I can see why. Nice that you let the wood pigeons enjoy your lawn for a while.
ReplyDeleteHello Beatrice, usually we get a lot of blackbirds, starlings and sparrows in the garden, but this year its been wood pigeons and magpies, I like watching them flitting around the garden.
DeleteThe cakes look yummy. I mowed my yard this morning, too.

At last my lawn is starting to green up with all the rain we've had. It's amazing stuff, it goes months without water and then grows again!
DeleteThe cream tea looks/sounds wonderful. Fun to see the wood pigeons taking respite.
ReplyDeleteI do like watching the birds in the garden
