Cable Forum - What have you just bought?

They're red listed and in serious decline unfortunately. Some usually come into our garden when the berries are on the holly bush (it's more like a tree!) and compete with the Blackbirds for them. They don't seem too bothered about the snails though. Maybe ours aren't tasty enough :P

Before you started getting grey hair.;):D

I have seen several thrushes in our garden. Apart from the slugs we have what looks like families of snails who congregate in the one place, i.e. above the garage door (inside) and below the window frames (outdoors), they almost decimated our runner beans too.:mad:

Some additional bird feeders as there's been a bit of argy bargy between the house sparrows and the goldfinches lately.

We've been using a mixed songbird food in the existing hanging feeders so I'm going to put out dedicated feeders with Nyjer and sunflower hearts for the goldies.

Just back from a wander round the new Victoria Gate shopping centre (and the Victoria Quarter next to it) in Leeds, and there were some 'impulse' buys.

400 Nespresso capsules
2 polo shirts from Joules (and a saddlebag handbag for SWMBO)
Le Creuset griddle pan
Pair of shoes for SWMBO from Moda in Pelle
3 candles from The White Company

and a nice Sourdough and seeds loaf from Le Pain Quotidien for lunch - yum!
