And now for something woody . . . .

We had Christmas in Germany, near Munich, and one of our trips was to a Wildpark at Poing.  A delightful bird feeder caught the eye and gave Derek inspirsation . . .

. . .  so far so good . . . 


Success!, but so far only a robin and two blue tits have dropped by, oh, and a squirrel.  But I don't think we'll ever get a nuthatch, not being in a forest like the inspiration source. 


And sawing up salvaged timber for the woodburner yields some interesting results: 


Turn it round:- 

  
 I think I should have rotated this one.




Valentine's Day coming up.





And the next project . . . .  trouble is, builders round here don't have discarded bits of log, onlly pallets and unwanted roof beams and bits.
