Coping with lockdown.

As Baggy's lockdown continues unabated, Calum and Baggy have been making the most of their extra time together. Yet more new local footpaths have been discovered, which thankfully seem to be pretty devoid of other walkers.

And cutting back through a nearby housing estate the other day, Furry Mama was delighted to see this chap! Apparently he's an escapee from a farm where the owner passed away a few years back. Seemingly there were a few of them who found themselves other homes; this one decided to remain on this estate and just wanders about where he fancies. Furry Mama saw him last year and he looked half starved, with absolutely no tail-feathers left, so she was really worried about him. Well apparently she needn't have been! The boy looks magnificent!

Calum also decided that Baggy's grandparents' grave needed some replacement chippings, so as the garden centres are now open...

Progress has also been made on the new bit of garden! Cal has levelled off the area where they have put a table and chairs, and covered it with pebbles, surrounded by giant pebbles.

He did seem to invent a weird new dance to Christen it, but apparently he was stomping in the pebbles.

Not that Pepper Pooch had the first clue what was going on! 

Gloria Gardener also tackled the Bank-of-Doom today as well; so called by Creative Clara because frankly Gloria takes Baggy into her own hands when she's up there!

Trust Creative Clara when she says that it's a long way to fall Baggees!

Removed this:

All of which is still covering the footpath, because Baggy had no energy left to remove it. Arthritic knees, and very steep slopes aren't the best of combinations. Especially as Gloria Gardener was determined to leave as many of the wildflower plants in place as she could. The robins (of which there are three!) loved her efforts. At one point, one of them was only about six inches from Baggy's nose!

Baggy continues to be extremely grateful that they have such a lovely space to spend in lockdown...

Baggy's current state!

Note to readers: For the avoidance of any doubt, every character in this blog is Baggy! No Baggy was harmed in its writing, although some of them get pretty confused!
