Tuesday 5th April (Wind and Rain)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window to see that many of the buds on the Lime trees had burst into life with fresh green leaves uncurling. The birds have not yet started to build nests; or even look interested in starting a family in the large Limes.

With a grey sky, squally showers and a grim outlook Mr. Kite read the paper. Later in the day he looked into his back garden and decided to prune the Laurel tree and tidy up the area around it. A Blackbird was taking grass into some ivy near by. Five Canada Geese flew low of the garden honking in a 'v' formation. Blue Tits and Great Tits flew around the bushes and trees. On this dull windy threatening day only a few birds were on show.

After sprucing up the Laurel Mr. Kite sat by the warm fire and drank a tipple of Tetley tea. Tomorrow will be another day.
