Happy birthday, Simon.
I’d bring you a cake but I’m scared to come down from the tree at the bottom of your garden that I’ve been watching you from in this wind (and I can’t get the candles lit).
I’ll let you know how it tasted.😀👍

Just seen that he was born OTD in 1895. Forget Chaplin, give me Buster any day of the week.

Morning all.
We spent today for the last 13 years celebrating this one’s birthday & it so seems extra odd to not have him with us now.
Happy Dex Day, everyone!🙂

It’s #NationalPoetryDay
so here’s one of mine…

"THE VEL-CROW"
A big black bird
Took to the air
Flew into my head
And stuck to my hair.

Ha! Yeah, watched it yesterday. (Great view from his house but very little room for any chickens.)
