Hello from the House of Speedy! I seem to be starting out a lot like this lately don't I?
Well its been a while again since my last blog, but it's safe to say we are ok. We haven't been doing much because well Covid has been increasing again and the safer places to go have been to difficult to visit due to lots of rain. We did get to go to Cornwall for a couple of days but the weather wasn't great but we did go here....
Mum did manage to take me to one of our favorite garden centers a couple of weeks ago and they were getting ready for Christmas so most of those we will save for my Annual Christmas and Holiday Countdown....Yes that will still be going ahead. The Bad news is The UK is going in to full Lockdown due to Covid till December 2nd so all non essential shops and business have to close from Thursday this coming week so no more collecting Christmas photos to get a head for my Countdown.Anyway here I am at the garden center....
Mum Got fed up with the weather so put up 3 of our Christmas trees....in out house Christmas is here! And she is already getting the presents in just incase things get worse with covid. But I am saving the photos for my Countdown.
We still have Hedgehogs coming for Dinner and we have one Late summer Juvenile staying over in one of the nest boxes so they are doing great as far as we can tell. But today we have a guest Selfie from Bird the Jackdaw. Bird has been hanging out in the back garden as well as the front due to us haveing some very stormy weather....Bird even stayed over one night and a day and sheltered under the garden furniture to get out of the wind and rain. Yesterday afternoon Bird left as the weather improved but we are expecting Bird to come back cause another storm has arrived. So lets get up close and Personal with Bird.....
Brrr, it still looks cold down there, and you did well to get out and about. The garden centres always look a treat in your pictures, I just hope we can come through this all in time for Christmas. What a smashing picture of Bird. Such lovely colours. Mrs H once had the rare pleasureof holding a grown crow, and he was so so soft, and very placid and attentive. Hopefully Bird stays safe, though he at least knows where there is a lovely safe B&B ;)

SPEEEEEEEEDY! How I have missed you, little man in the blue coat! Well my friends, hasn't this been a kicker of a year? Unreal. We are trying our best to stay happy and healthy both physically and mentally. It is so good to hear from you AND I love bird! He is darling!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteWe get a lot of crows around here, but they won't stay still enough to have their portraits taken!
We heard about the UK going back into lockdown. We are just starting to emerge from Lockdown no. 2 - but We are sure there will be a third one in December.
I'm glad you have your coat on Speedy, stay warm and cozy! I just love that Jackdaw bird, those are lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteWe're sad that you all have to go back into lockdown. We hope it works as planned, and the Christmas season will be a little more opened up. That's amazing about Bird eating aout of Mum's hand, Speedy! And you took a nice selfie, pal. XO
ReplyDeleteI'm glad y'all are doing okay Speedy! We're more than ready for Covid to ride into the sunset. Hey, that Bird is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your human is a critter magnet, which is awesome! Paws crossed this latest lockdown helps. Winter was the worst wave of the Spanish flu 100 years ago too.
ReplyDeleteVery nice too see a post from you. Glad you were able to get out a bit. XO
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you have to be in another lockdown. Such a mess this Covid evil has wrought all over the world. UGH.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to get out and about even if just a wee bit.
MrBird sure looks like he knows a good thing or two! Jackdaws are pretty smart, aren't they?!
I am glad you are OK. NZ did the lockdown thing many months ago and I am glad to say it is working. I hope it does in the UK as well. You deserve a good time with some walks and fun.
ReplyDeleteBe safe and have some fun.
Stay safe. We are excited the Christmas countdown can continue regardless of the pandemic.
ReplyDeleteHi Speedy. It’s nice that you got to get out for awhile. Stay safe!!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear from you, Speedy. We're glad to hear you and your family are doing well. Stay safe and healthy.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the shutdown. While we like having Dog Dad work from home most of the time we miss all the places we used to visit.

ReplyDeleteSpeedy, I am glad you are all well and getting out a bit. Your mom is very lucky that the bird comes to eat from her hand. She must have a very calm and trusting energy.
