    Today off to Peterborough to look at one of the first 500 Range Rovers made, 1970 registered January 1971, Its a tricky one because you cant go round restoring everything, preservation is the thing
    so basically you leave it looking like shite but running, summat to do innit

    I cut my grass first, then power-washed the patio, then power-washed the stone ctircle area and the coping stones on top of the wall. (I like power-washing). Fed all the birdies and topped up their feeders, them moved it on to the grass beacause all the seeds the little feckers drop are starting to sprout through my chipped area. So we weeded that then I got the burning wand out and roasted any feckin' seeds that thought they might have a second go. Then we went to Asda for essentials, came back and put some more mealy worms in the bird feeder 'cos they don't last 2 minutes. Our hotels are coming out of lockdown on 15th so I've booked 3 nights up at Dundonnell in Wester Ross to get away for a bit. Busy day...

    Won't work Cam, we had a friend many years ago who had the same problem with gulls on her balcony in Albir, when I asked if the owl was effective {she was Dutch} she said "no I think the owl also shits on the balcony"

    You need something that moves erratically so that they don't get used to it E.G.a windmill that stops and starts moving
