What's your weather like 2026
Messing around with rain again here, nothing heavy but I just wish things could dry up for a few days, even when it's not raining the atmosphere is so damp any drying is very slow.

keep trimming the suckers to the ground and it should eventually run out of energy.

What are we doing in the garden 2026
Not really as I gave away my leaf blower as it was getting too heavy for me . Also the willow leaves being long and narrow get caught inbetween the plant leaves, especially with the succulents.

What's buzzing flying near you 2026
Late afternoon visit from a Sparrowhawk which looks like a new young male, no bigger than a Collared Dove. Fortunately it didn't catch anything.
