Saturday 21st January (A Windy Day and Not Too Many Birds)


Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom into a blustery day. Two birds were on view. A male blackbird walked down the pavement and a common buzzard soared overhead battling against a strong wind.

Reading a magazine Mr. Kite solved a problem. Amongst the shrubs in the area are splendid dangly green 'lantern shapes' and these are Monty's plant of the week; silk-tassel bush; Garrya elliptica.

Mr. Kite enjoys seeing buzzards flying and circling over The Residence. On this dismal day Mr. Kite looked into his garden for inspiration but did not find it. At three in the afternoon Mr. Kite gave up and opened a tipple of Wychwood Hobgoblin. Cheers from Mr. Kite.
