This squirrel was keeping a watchful eye on me after beating a hasty retreat from the neighbours cat.

I’m a lumberjack and I’m OK
I sleep all night and I work all day

He’s a lumberjack and he’s OK
He sleeps all night and he works all day

Well, thank you Monty Python.

Today, we have the guys taking down a dead tree, which is threatening to fall in mine and my neighbours backyard.

The tree doesn’t belong to us but we couldn’t cope with the bureaucracy of dealing with the Highways Agency, who moved their boundaries, and the local council, who have not “adopted” the remaining, abandoned, strip of land.

So, we have taken matters into our own hands.

The tree is a goner.

The slow worm (Anguis fragilis) is a reptile native to western Eurasia.

 These legless lizards are also sometimes called common slowworms.

I disturbed this one whilst mowing my lawn.
