I’m not sure if this was for keeping ice, food, naughty children, or what. I suspect it was an ‘Ice House’

Moles. Kind of cute. Kind of a nuisance to gardeners. Someone told me they have worm larders down there. They don’t just eat worms, they bite their heads off and keep them for later. The worms stay alive and fresh but can’t go anywhere because they have no mouth or brain. Do worms have brains? I don’t know, but moles do.

Delightful twirly curly blossoms in the grove today

Starting today, I’m taking one photograph every day for one year. I tried it last lear, and took 238 photos. Expect many of the same views, but an all new year! Expect lots of Brockwood photos, but a new, 2010 Brockwood!

One of the oldest yews in the country. Yews can be up to 4,000 years old!

A little park on the way into the city from the east.

May be cut down soon… what a disaster! Surely the slight possibility of an injured/dead student or two shouldn’t allow the death of this mighty being.

I’m so happy to have chickens back in the garden. I love to watch them scratch about for food and the delightful purring they make. There are many different colours: Black, grey, white, brown and red. They arrived yesterday, so in a day or two we can expect our first eggs. Fed on fresh kitchen waste and roaming free in the orchard, the eggs should taste just great!
