Rob & Valonia

Setting the scene:

On a little piece of land in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, two garden novices are overrun by rabbits on an allotment plot they named A Whole Plotta Love.

Meanwhile, at home on the banks of the Thames, they potter about on a tiny segment of ground known colloquially as The Boater’s Garden. It floods a lot.

A beautiful and bright start on the Thames this morning.
A soggy afternoon on the allotment, but we're the jingliest plot on the block! (it probably won't scare off the rabbits...). New blog post at https://awholeplottalove.com
And video of Harold in the apple tree.
Harold the moorhen in the apple tree. Sometimes all three moorhens form an orderly queue and await their turn at the bird feeder.
Somebody has developed itchy feet and the longing to go on adventures. We've found him up the road and led him home twice over the last two days. The first time his entire family followed and the lane was full of cygnets, but the cygnets had grown bored of walking so sat blocking the road instead. We reckon he senses that it's Swan Upping week and is looking for somewhere to hide!
A moorhen from the first brood now assisting the feeding of a chick from the second brood. The parent moorhens failed to raise any chicks last year so it's been a pleasure to see them do so well. And we have front row seats as they nest outside our window. Boat life, eh?
