Hot? have a camomile bath..

The budgies have been enjoying camomile tea baths for the past few days. They love to take a sip of the water and then have a wade through it.

Roswell and Jerry like to get particularly soaked, little Roswell puts his face right in it to make sure his beard spots get soaked.

Just the thing to cool down on a 26 degree day.

I use a two litre jug, steep the tea bag in 200ml hot water for two minutes and then top up with lovely cold water. Remove bag of course!

Serve to fiends in see-through glass dishes. Relax and watch them splash about and have fun.

Monty and Eric painting by my sister

It's coming up to the anniversary of Eric's passing (23rd January) my sister kindly offered to paint Eric and Monty for me - this is from one of my favourite photos of them too - Monty looking in charge and Eric looking like a little puffin :)

Rest in Peace Eric, I am sure you have your favourite swing to play on and lots of millet to eat.
