Hi All 
i received a lovely msg this morning off Paul as I haven’t been in touch, so thought I’d post an update to give you all an idea as to why!
I have been really busy on the phone a lot with family members (video calling everyday) who are all in the ‘at risk category’ 3 of my brothers, 2 of which are alone, An Auntie in her 70s who is resident in Spain who is literally alone, and more importantly our 2 daughters who most will know are nurses
. One of our daughters is still at work and doing a fantastic job, but so worrying for us as she hasn’t got any PPE (don’t get me started) 
And we found out last week she’d been exposed to positive tested patients so next couple of weeks is especially going to be a worrying time, hopefully in next couple of days her own PPE will have arrived, (They are all ordering their own!) But that’s another story!
Then there is our other daughter who on Friday will be 39weeks pregnant with our very first long awaited grandchild.
so we have had lots of tears as I was originally going to be present at the birth along with her partner, now they will be lucky if her partner will be able to be present! However, it is her ward so she will not be alone as her colleagues will take care of her, but it’s still not the way you envisage your first child coming into the world!! Also as she has to be indoors for 12 weeks & I also have to be in for 12 weeks (I have a severe lung condition) 
I don’t know when we will see our grandchild, but as long as everyone does as they are told it will all be worth it!! And soon be over!! 
After all that I bet you all wish you hadn’t ask where I’d been
Well here goes with the birds : I had 2 roosters:
1 great tit which has tried for years to build a nest but has always been chased off by the bluetits, he is roosting for first time, but not bringing any female friends over!
1 blue tit in my angle box, but he moved out about 3 weeks ago
Since he moved out iv had absolutely nothing from bluetits at all, not even a little look
Nothing coming in the garden even!, now the strange thing is, all these years of having nests, there has only ever been a couple of pairs at the most of bluetits around, even though there are lots of trees, however, this year I have seen at least 1/2 a dozen pairs Of bluetits, so there is no excuse why I haven’t had a peep?!!!
I will try and catch up with everyone’s posts, but for now, wish you all success.
p.s Sorry for the long post & bending your ears everyone, but I feel great for getting all that off my chest!!! Best therapy!!
