Ok I am officially fed up of Winter. The snow was OK for a day, but now it’s beyond a joke.
I hear that the council has run out of grit and our lane isn’t gritted anyway because it’s not a main road.
The drive was iced over again today, then it rained and as we were running out of milk I thought I’d try and get into the village. I managed to get there and stock up so we are OK again for a while. The shop had run out of bread though.
It’s funny that even this bad weather didn’t stop the ‘boy racers’ last night, we could hear them shouting and revving their cars at around 2am. They must be invincible.
The photo is just some of the birds in the garden today. If anyone knows what type the one at the bottom right is please let me know.

Interesting selection of birds! The one in the middle looks very exotic – reminds me of an azure winged magpie, but surely cannot be.
The middle one is a Jay. I saw it for the first time yesterday and it’s back again today. A lovely bird. Thanks to http://www.sligobirding.com for telling me what it was.
