Please come and pick some plums before they all rot and drop off the trees. Ideal for jam, crumble, wine, plum cobbler

The garden goes bonkers in Spring. The wilder it gets, the more beautiful it is. Bring your flask, a packet of biscuits and your blanket. Chill

Thank you to the detectorist who left these items on the bench today, very interesting. Love the square nail, not sure what it’s attached to, also the lump of lead, no idea what that was. It would be ironic if the lid was off a tube of metal polish, like Brasso haha

We have a couple of very small foxes with the mange at the moment. I've just started treating them so hopeully they will be starting to look better in a week. I was wondering if anyone had any dog biscuit or anything that their dog hates that you have lying around, that you'd like to donate ?? Mange is such a devastating thing, especially in smaller weaker foxes. I'm trying to build them up a bit. They have their medicine daily in jam sandwiches, which they love. Here is a picture of my dog because its too upsetting to put a photo of a little mangy fox

Caught a scruffy bastard trying to nick our blue witch tonight. That’s a relief because for an awful minute I thought I’d caught the phantom crapper of old Gosport town. Blue witch is safe back where she should be.

Busy pond, too many Iris

Very unpleasant surprise in the garden today. The phantom crapper of old Gosport town is back in action. Big old crap on one of the benches, at least they brought their toilet roll with them this time. Very big thank you to the Streetscene man who was there within an hour of me reporting it on their emergency hotline. Cant ask for a better service. I'm pooped now with all that messing about.

And just to round the day off, some bloody idiots threw logs in the pond. I'm locking the gate early tonight. Sorry if you show up and cant get in. Not sorry if you are one of Gosports many vandals
