Naughty Pudsy! & no conkers left!

This Mail online story   gives poor old Pudsy bear a stoning complaining that money which should have been distributed is still "in the bank".  It then go's on to list a whole host of other BBC misdemeanors over their "charity work - - - allegedly!
The devil being in the detail at the bottom of the article though when an "independent watchdog" says that giving money to the "Children in need" charity" is a "bad idea" - - -

Another data stealing horror story tells of Malicious Worms which trawl around the internet looking for "popular home storage systems" which it can exploit.
Time to look at locking it all down - - -



We attempted to make some wine from the grapes growing in one of our small garden greenhouses.  Its been bubbling away for a while but yesterday it was time to put it into bottles

I think the look on my face says it all! "I've tasted worse", or even, "I've bought worse!"  I have an idea it might not improve with age so after stashing one bottle for xmas the rest were put in the fridge for immediate consumption!

"well posed the sheep in the foreground" as I took a pic looking south in the light rain of yesterday.  I had gone out to collect a small bag full of conkers just because its nice to see all the shiny "fruits" in a vase on the coffee table 

Apart from a couple of chewed specimens there was not a nut in sight, i presume the squirrels have hidden them away already.  Could this be a sign of a bad winter or just that i left it too late! - - - 

We sometimes have the birdfeeder webcam running and yesterday I spotted the resident woodpecker in a strange pose.  It normally clings onto the peanut feeder but here its on the side of the apple tree which is just out of shot. 

Not a bad Temp. outside and not a breath of wind just now 

Its looking a little grey outside at the moment but there might be a hint of the cloud breaking later 

Enjoy the day
