Last month, my Granny gave us some money which we weren't allowed to spend on anything useful, so we have finally replaced our ten-year-old digital camera. I took it out into my folks' garden to test it out, so here is a picture of one of my Green Men, which needs to age a bit in order to blend in properly, but still. Looked like he was enjoying the sunshine.I didn't take very many photos as I was on my feet and frankly, haven't worked out exactly what all the levers and pulleys do on this thing yet.
But then, just as I was about to go inside, fancy my luck! A cheeky little red-breasted robin alighted on a branch beside me and sang a little ditty.How seasonal! I thought, and I quickly snapped this picture before it flew away.
So now I am feeling very Christmassy.

Well, it's many a day I've travelled a hundred miles or more
But a Robin with plastic eyes sure I never saw before...

The Green Man is magic - I have a little one inside one side of the AGA alcove, and a winking pixie the other side, installed by the builder (!) - but that robin is really specially, wearing a red muffler to cover his white breast -whoever put him there for your delight obviously loves you very much !
You can "age" stuff with yoghurt - and, since it's outside, it doesn't smell.
I too seem to have acquired a robin. I put out some stale weetabix on the bird table this moring and he was there in a flash.
