Default Time for a new thread on walkabouts !

om goodness - Banjo Duo having woken up mega early end of last year first time ever known that to happen went walkabout yesterday.

It was t shirt weather in Hampshire and though he has been up 3 months odd he was a bit slow until....zoom ... placed outside and unbeknown to me zoomed off at full pelt and I took 2 hours looking for him behind pots !! cheeky little blighter! CB

How scary, all that worry! Glad you found him.

I was hot yesterday working in the garden. Lovely weather. Torts not stirring though.

Oh no! That must have been worrying at the time. Bet you were glad to find him and undoubtedly shattered after searching for him. That deserved a glass of something nice. xx

It almost feels that spring is nearly here doesn't it? The spring bulbs are flowering and the days are getting longer.

out again today and this time the mid way gate he must have squeezed through at an angle onto the lawn is borded up with scaffold board ! little tinker. He was soooo tired and didn't get up til very late today ! Two more out in the sunshine and tempted to get others up this week. one has put on a gramm and the other has lost over 70 odd which is a lot so not sure why that is. I wonder whether to keep them outside as the conservatory is heating up much quicker than last year (or the last 25 years except the other march 2014?). they all seemed to love the run around. Bulbs are coming. It is going to be trailing plant city this year ! Seems the seeds are slow also this year. Whats that a sign off?
