This years first brood of swallows in Sundials Pizzeria, our annual visitors arrive in April normally have a couple of broods and then fly south in September the whole way to Namibia and South Africa via France, Spain, Morocco, Sahara, Angola…traveling about 200 miles a day…proper hard nuts.

Our poor Mediterranean plants didn’t like the cold Northumberland winter so we’ve refreshed with some hardier plants and added a pear tree to the orchard today. Happy Change over day.

Our dogs seem to instinctively know when we have a change over day and their walk will need to wait until the afternoon 🤣🤣🤣

I’m reliably informed by some of our neighbours in the village that this old Apple tree used to have the nicest apples for miles around. Unfortunately no apples for a couple of years but there’s at least 4-5 lots of Spuggies and Blue T**s nesting in the old knots.
