Alone in a Grotto

TWWLUTR has gone on holiday too. CM has gone to a boarding house. So has all the territory to Myself. Hard work patrolling all that over Christmas.

She had a headache all day yesterday. He shut Himself in one of the sheds. Must say He looks like Father Christmas in a grotto with His big white beard and tummy.

Pair of collared doves perched on the weather vane most of yesterday morning. They think it's spring - and the male kept edging closer to its mate and trying to rub beaks and things. Eventually pushed it off the end by mistake.
