I had temporarily hung up this nesting box on a screw by the back door some time over the winter , I hadn't decided where the best place for it to be was yet .
With all that's going on in the world , I just forgot about it ...until just now .
I had taken a cup of tea outside and sat down at the picnic table , to enjoy a breath of fresh air and relax ...when this happened !
Luckily I had my camera with me on the table .
We will have to be very quiet and careful as we use the backdoor from now on .
Meanwhile up in the greenhouse Epiphyllum var "Purple Delight " is putting on a show !
It is one of my favourite Epies !
And in the potting shed .......
Runner bean update - The weather today is gloriously sunny and warm , gusty wind picking up every now and again . The forecast is for very cold air coming down from the North .
I had put up wind breaks and my young bean plants , which I had hardened off , probably would have been o.k , but listening to what other people are saying , using language like "Arctic Plume " and severe frost put the fear of God into me ,even though we rarely get a frost and this probably wont even reach the Lizard .
Better safe than sorry .
I had only just planted them out so it hasn't hurt them at all to take them up and pop them back into their pots .
I gave them all a stick to wind around and I will plant them out again next week .
I sowed two Runner-bean seeds at each pole and marked the spot with a stone , so I don't disturb them when I replant .
So either way , all shall be well !
The hedgerows are beautiful right now with Bluebells , Buttercups and Queen Anne's Lace , Pink Campion and Cuckoo-pint .

I hope the sun is shining for you !
