Never felted before, so i picked the biggest project and went for it lol

Quite pleased with my first attempt. This was a felting kit. The instructions were easy enough, but I got better at manipulating the felt as I went along. The eyes were particularly hard. Trying to get them the same and level. I think looking back, I would have been better to use plastic eyes. I've now got the bug. What next?

Converted our garage into a mini gym/studio!

Surprising what you can do with a small space. This is our new gym/studio. Glad I was brave enough to paint the ceiling Urban Grey too. Even have our lawn mower and step ladders hidden in the cupboards. I just need to get in there and start my new fitness campaign now!

Bee-eaters on my Merlin App on the Norfolk Broads?

I know the Merlin App is not 100%, but you can imagine my excitement when the Bee-eaters popped up. We were on the Norfolk Broads on a boat. We waited around for ages, but unfortunately, no sighting. Are these likely to be in that area?

Love my new cosy corner!

Was a bit of a dead-end corner and made it into a cosy little area for morning coffee - the only time it ever gets any sun lol Dad made my little bench out of railway sleepers too.

Help! Need a newish budget car - Which is better, Kia Picanto, Toyota Aygo, Ford Fiesta or a Renault Captur?

My niece needs a newish car (three years or younger) for about £150 per month PCP contract. Her choices seem to be: Kia Picanto, Toyota Aygo, Ford Fiesta, or Renault Captur? Which is better? Not a Fiat 500, that's just not her thing. What's the best, reasonably priced dealer in the north of the UK? Should I avoid the car supermarkets?

Starlings are eating the fat balls quicker than I can stock up!

The little bluetits are hardly getting a look-in on my bird feeder as the starlings come in droves and eat the lot each day. Any tips?
