Looking out of the upstairs windows this morning on my slightly scruffy garden...in the back, a horde of at least twenty sparrows lining up on the washing line while a small rabble of starlings deal with the seeds fallen from the bird feeder...flying up as a fat pigeon walks over...and a pair of collar doves sit snuggled up together on the polytunnel frame...
At the front a couple of LBJs are going for last year's seed heads in one corner, and blackbirds and starlings have started on the first berries ln the hedge/ meadow half and poking at the lawn on the cut grass side.
Jackdaws and gulls seem to be sitting tight elsewhere..it is rather windy!
On the downhill side to me....a tidy garden, half slabs half lawn with some plants in pots at the back....and at the front chippings and some plant pots and a couple of shrubs......and no birds atall.....
The first photo was taken a while ago....this is yesterday...
Sideways rain, thunder and lightning...as my Friend in France asked...."What are you doing with Our weather?"!!
They have been having the same this past day or so!!
The Auld Alliance? L'Entente Cordiale?!!
Half an hour on the turbo trainer yesterday...and although it is lifting and the sun is shining to tempt me out....it will be turbo again today..and progressing with Our Shirts patchwork...
Half a corner laid out ready for pinning and sewing.
Now for my "leçon" accompanied by café allongée.....
I wonder why a Long Black is called Lying Down Coffee in French ????

What a wonderful garden. Full of life.
A lying down coffee sounds good to me!
The aerial shot of your garden looks great!
Your garden looks very organised.
...it's been wet here too.
A combination I think of limited space and allotment experience
♥️☕
The garden always looks very good and photos show things are growing at a good clip.
some of these birds are nuisances but they still provide entertainment.
I think allongee means elongated rather than lying down... so elongated by adding hot water.
That makes perfect sense..as you are elongated when you lie down!
That does look like wild weather! I loved the bird stamp from the previous post (catching up after a little bit away from the computer). Coffee at any angle is good for certain parts of the day. I was taught always to have a cup of tea before going for coffee in the morning, and tea is also my favoured lunchtime beverage but I must admit to a bit of caffeine throughout the day.
The weather looks changeable like it is here in NZ, I like the length of your garden though.
