The Reserve

In the past I've referred to part of the garden where we have a few fruit trees as The Orchard, but it's time to rename it.

I've spent today in the garden writing (with a pen, in a real paper notebook) and watching what's happening in the orchard. It's now The Reserve.

I've been quiet and Dora, who's not far away, has been sleeping. And there's been a splendid collection of birds coming in to visit throughout the day, drawn in by the feeders and windfalls. The list so far includes blue tit, great tit, dunnock, blackbirds, wood pigeon, and a substantial gang of sparrows.

And I was planning to put a shed in that part of the garden, maybe I need a hide rather than a shed.
