Mapgie

Victoria came to help us this morning and spent several hours with my husband moving stuff about. Yesterday the kitchen and bathroom lofts were emptied and cleared ready for work on the roof as well as getting ready for modernization of the bathroom and kitchen. I have spent the morning cleaning and sorting stuff that has been in these two lofts for many years; some of it will be going in the rubbish!
 
Today’s picture is of a Magpie eating from the bird table, with the snow falling all around. Tubby has been today along with three slimmer squirrels and we feel that it might be a pregnant female, rather than a aft squirrel; I am not sure when they give birth, but hopefully not while this weather continues. 
 
It is bitterly cold today and started to snow around lunchtime. It snowed for about two hours, but fortunately did not settle; now late in the afternoon it is raining.
