…and I mean a real one, in the garden!  And not just one – I discovered about an hour ago that there’s a whole family nested in our flower bed!  Paul spotted a grouse on the lawn a few days ago, we were quite surprised and haven’t seen one since.  Then tonight it was back and going crazy, squawking away madly for over half an hour.  I realised eventually that it was protesting at the cat (not ours, we don’t have one) hanging around in the garden.  Once the cat disappeared, the grouse quietened down, and I spotted that it had a load of tiny fluffy babies with it on the lawn!  So cute, about the size of golf balls.  I grabbed the camera and managed to catch them before they wiggled off back to their nest, the pic isn’t great but you can see the babies (click the pic for a bigger view):

My word, they’re cute!

I realised this morning that I didn’t blog my Inspired Blueprints LO in time, I think it was meant to be up by the end of June.  But I ended up working two full days at the playgroup this week, instead of just mornings, it’s thrown me a bit!  Here it is anyway, better late then never…….

All about my favourite drink!  We went to my favourite ever cafe in May, Byfords of Holt, and Paul took this fab photo while we had a marvellous brunch.  This is the first LO from the rather gorgeous and different June kit from Cocoa Daisy, I love it.

Back to birdie-watch, I hope they come out to play again tomorrow
