Mr Moor hen

Even the moor hen came up today from the stream in the meadow to look for some crumbs!

Yesterday the redheaded woodpecker was on the bird feeder again but I wasn't quick enough to take a photo!

We also have some baby wagtails that have just flown the nest and they are so cute! We should also have some baby blue tits soon as they are using the bird box by the house and again I haven't managed to take a photo of the parents coming in and out of the box as they are so quick!

Mr B

Mr B came right into the kitchen today looking for some breadcrumbs! he is really cheeky!!

Triumph Club

Exhibiting their pride and Joys!

21st annual gathering of the Triumph Club.

The 21st Annual Triumph Bank Holiday gathering was another great success. All who came enjoyed the weekend. They were treated to entertainment by local celebrities Randini & Derek Sandy on the saturday night and a Quiz on the Sunday. The evenings went very well, no doubt helped by Fuggle De Dum & Wight Knight real ale which was requested as a special in the bar!

We would like to thank the Triumph Club for coming, it is a pleasure to hold this event and we look forward to the national gathering and the friends we have made over the years as well as the new members, roll on 2011

May all your spark plugs keep sparking for the year ahead! and all your oil seals remain intact!! :-)
