20th

We completed the perimeter fence around our kitchen garden today, the rear side had been open for almost two weeks (ran out of wire). Now I'll have to get Charlie to hang on the gate! We also purchased a hundred yards of mesh and posts to fence the perimeter of the farmhouse paddock.

Charlie is going to run wire across the top as the netting has sagged; he noticed part of the stone walling had gone during the storm on Monday; debris had rolled down the paddocks steep incline leaving us worried for the lambs.

19th

Overheard pigeons on my balcony, opened the door and two pigeons flew away from their nest. The nest, built recently (no eggs) was swept away, hours six hours later another nest appeared.

I'm weary of any intrusion of nature after enduring prepetual intrusion from enablers so to be honest there was not much fuss about or guilt over evicting them.
