End of the gable

I've watched this gable wall falling apart for the last 15 years. It's a ruin which has been for sale as a building plot over the years, but there has never been much Interesting in it. This is the first year that there haven't been any oyster catchers nesting in it. Perhaps it's getting a bit too precarious for them. 
It often has rabbits and other small furry things in the long grass round about so Lottie likes to have a sniff and snuffle about as we go past it on our walks. 
An afternoon in the front garden, weeding, dead heading and cutting back a lot of herbaceous geraniums which had gone over and browning flowers off the alchemilla mollis (lady's mantle). The geraniums were getting far too floppy and swamping out the plants round about them.
I was accosted in my labours by fellow blipper iainatcreel accompanied by CMC and friends. Himself assured me that their passports were in order! It's many moons since he's visited these parts - it's not a trip to be undertaken lightly! It was lovely to see them and to have a good catch-up with the man himself.  An al fresco blip meet by the sea!  I do hope it didn't take too much out of him and that they'll come back again one day!
