************************

Hi everyone sorry for the lack of posting and visiting your lovely blogs but i have been so busy over the last few weeks

I have decided to start bird keeping again, i used to have a garden full of aviaries where i bred budgies, cockatiels, finches and canaries, but due to caravanning every weekend i decided to give them up as it was just too much for me.

Now we don't go caravanning i have longed for an aviary again but on a much smaller scale 

Here are a few photo's for you to look through 

I'm off to sit in the sun and watch the veggies grow, listen to the birds sing and build nests and i shall be cutting out some decoupage, all my hobbies rolled into one :) life can't get any better  

I will try and be a good blogger from now on too
