Well exciting stuff today, the swan was sitting on what I now know to be her nest. I hope that we can follow the swan story through and maybe get some cygnets at the end of it. That would be fab. They are quite close to the end of the garden and don’t seem to bother at all when we go and look (from a safe distance). Needless to say, the more agile dogs are now banned from going out into the garden on their own!
We have had a pair of swans around for a few weeks now and yesterday there was some frantic activity at the end of the garden. Lots of pulling up of leaves and twigs that were growing in the lake. She didn’t seem too bothered that I was there taking a picture. Dad was nowhere to be seen.
Hudson (he wasn't the only culprit) is a big dog, he had trouble getting his head back through the gap, let alone his body. It was barely the width of a cd at the bottom and there was no give as it was nailed to the fence either side. Those of you who have had the pleasure of meeting Hudson will know that he is not the most agile of dogs as he has hip dysplasia so how he managed it I don't know. It's also on a steep downward slope so he must have crawled through on his belly to the lure of what was beyond.
Oh and Nigel now has a big hole in his golf jumper and a cut on his hand trying to get him out.

Well we have had some nice weather recently so I thought I’d spend a bit of time in the garden. Soon bored with mooching around I found somewhere comfortable to sit and watch planet earth go by. I had to ask for it to be anchored though as I didn’t like it when it started swinging.
