Maggie Thatcher was on her first term as Prime Minister, Ronald Reagan was US President and Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart was enjoying it’s second week as number one in the charts. And 2027 years earlier Julius Caesar was gasping his last at the Roman Senate having been stabbed 23 times by conspiring Senators fearful of Caesar’s growing power in Rome.
There were some sceptics, what with Mags being a little older than me, but here we are, still going strong!
It was windy yesterday, and forecast to be wet today, so we’d decided to hang on and move on to Ellesmere on Friday. Being here a couple of days it was worthwhile hanging up the bird feeders, there’s not a lot around for them to eat at this time of year.
They’ve been well attended, but only by varieties of tits, strangely.

Must have heard the camera shutter!
Long-Tailed Tit pair
This Great Tit was a bit wary. One peck and a quick look around…
I’m afraid they’ll have to look elsewhere for hand-outs tomorrow. We’ll be moving down to Ellesmere in the morning.

Congratulations to you both, it's really very satisfying to prove the doubting Thomas's wrong. Love is very special regardless of age as you two have proved. xx
So, are the two of you starting to think that it might work out OK?
Best wishes to you for the next 35!
CONGRATULATIONS! Wishing you both many more happy anniversaries. Best wishes, John and Jen x
