A nice sunrise here with a good frost .
Just fed the birds and set up the camera pointing at the bird table to see what we get today .

Yesterday we had magpies, pigeons , sparrows , a pr of blackbirds and a crafty starling eating a fatball oh and a couple of mice .

White Tea is similar to Green but is supposed to be the very tenderest of new shoots/growth of the Tea Bush

Well you live and learn

I've just been looking it up, I've not looked at the number of different teas before, I normally drink ordinary tea without milk, black tea, I didn't realize there were so many different types.

Edit:- Just looked & it was full moon 2 days ago Doh!

Is veal tea very young beef tea? I'd never heard of white tea either.

For the record, I'm drinking coffee.

Sea Dyke is my favourite Green Tea brand but the Aldi stuff is very good, I avoid the flavoured versions and a certain 'well known brand' that is horrible (and overpriced too)

Todays excitement is going to a new warehouse that has opened. They sell short sell by/gone past dated food in bulk. Tinned tomatoes and cereal is on the list. The place is within 10 mins walk, but don't fancy my chances with a trolly load of food.

Coffee here, too, at the moment..

Doesn't all tea come from the same sort of plant, but it's how new the leaves are and how they're dried etc?

Edit: Beaten to it upthread..

You're going to need some bigger panniers!

Well, the days are definitely getting longer. Noticing it more WFH. Its not dark going to the shed in the morning, and the solar light isn't on when I leave. We've a set of garden lights that come on around 4pm. It's light now when the timer kicks in.

I had to give the sunflower tubes a good shake, just now, as they were frozen, and the Goldfinches were looking hungry!

I'm playing catch up but I appear to have missed your birthday. So, retrospectively, happy birthday.

Fullers London Pride is a decent beer. Unfortunately, I didn't discover any local Fullers pubs during the Good Beer Famine towards the end of the last millennium, it was all Charringtons and Courage. Don't worry about taking our beer though, there are a few very good Leeds breweries and I've been happy to restore the import-export balance.

Thank you birthday is 4th Feb.I dont get out much apart from the walking,so yesterday I needed a writing pad.So I did extra shopping my beer,a Valentine's card and the pad.I should have phrased the post clearer.But thank you anyway.

Going out this afternoon,going to meet people outside of my bubble.Oh the excitement,of going for my jab is too much.

Looking at the birds hunkered down in the trees, I'm wondering if they get cold toes in this freezing weather...

Not that they actually have toes, of course, but the rest of them is covered in feathers to keep them warm.

I've just realised that I've put my boxers on back to front. I really should stop getting dressed in the dark.
