Hi Everyone! Squirrels - chilli flakes (big bags in Sainsburys) sprinkled on my raised beds and pots seem to be putting them off. I literally lost every tulip bulb last year to the local Squirrel Nutkins! 🙄

Well done again Smiles in opening the new thread, how many are we at now?

Enjoy your friends coming for lunch Smiles it will take your mind off your loss and cheer you up a bit.

Allsorts Had all the feral pigeons in my garden this morning as I put out some bird food, I put it out for 'snow white' the white pigeon that I love and her babies. Still put it down, asking where SW was, felt bad not to as they seemed very hungry.

I have 2 regular squirrels in my garden; onenut & twonut, called this as this is how many monkey nuts they can get in their little mouths smile.

Have a nice day everyone. Voting day today, so I have the evening off.

For those of us who've been living with estrangement for sometime and in many cases for years, we know how important this thread is.

The friendships we have made are our constant companions as we continue our journeys through our lives without the ones we have lost due to estrangement.

We have learned from one another that our estrangements don't define us and our desire to keep this thread going is as much for those who may not have posted before and maybe at the beginning of their estrangement, as it is for those of us who've been posting for sometime.

Our dear friend Babs posted the following several months ago and because it encapsulates so perfectly what we strive to achieve, I wrote it down for the OP of the next thread.

"We give advice in a calm and collected manner because we are removed from this storm, but when you are in it you cling to anything you think will get through to your child".

Thank you Babs for your wise and insightful words.
