At home for the day

​Hello friends and family
It has been colder this week so it can feel warm at 11 degrees!
After a quiet start to the week, I went to town on Wednesday and on the way home, picked up my new toy – a cricut machine. Like all crafty things it is going to be and ongoing cost to run but I have great ideas to personalise things and was very excited to get started.

​Then I discovered there is a whole lot of learning to do before I can produce anything. Sigh!
On Thursday we did the rounds and saw sign of penguins exploring unused nest boxes which is always a buzz. When I see them on the camera, they look in great condition which is reassuring.

of course we are entitled to be here - the signs are for other people

​Now the new season has begun. We have worked out better ways of doing things so we can save more chicks. Roll on spring!

Have a great week!
