Febuary and March just flew by…

and I failed to keep up with my blogging once more. I’ll post a bunch of pix and add some more and commentary later. These are in a random disorder!

I finally got around to deicing the main freezer and decided to take advantage of the piles of snow outisde to bury my frozen food in whilst doing so! It worked, kind of, but was a bugger to get stuff back out of the icy pile!
Nancy’s mug (and paw) and a few other mugs too!
One of the last bit of snow to go was this line that had graually slipped off the garage roof and then been “holed” by the subsequent drips from the corrugated roof.
It was Nebojski’s birthday so i made him a special breakfast! Mega mushroom with melted cheese and toast soldiers!
Sid and Nancy follow us down the hill !
Who said there aren’t bears in the Plitvicka National park?
One of the best known monuments in Belgrade horrendously shamed by perverted punk!
And its back! Snow getting away from it! The end of Feb and its snowballing time again but sadly no one to throw it at!
The light is thankfully obscuring the less pleasant part of this pic but just what is Nancy thinking – if anything? I carefully maintain that stomach just for the cats benefit don’tcha know?
Oci Bube and I attended the Belgrade Film Festival. (Yes they let all sorts in nowadays!)
We take Sid and Nancy out for a stroll and Sanja disguises herself as a monkey in case we meet any bears or wolves!
It’s that time of the year in the woods! Snowdrops are back.
We know the furries love running water but this was the first time we’d seen Sid drink from the stream.
Spotted quite a few of these in my woods and I assume they are Scarlet Elfcup. which means we have elves in the woods, cool! Scarlet Elf Cups have a subtle earthy flavour with a slightly woody texture. They can be stir fried and sprinkled in salads for colour. I’ll see if I can pick enough to try this. Good bye cruel world!
Another sapling stockade built to defend my new trees from the deer and rabbits! Funnily enough it seems some of the yound branches I have cut and stuck in the bground as a fence hve taken root and are growing there!!
As if we didn’t know!!! Actually my beloved is just wearing a prop from the board game War on Terror that we finally tried out.
Sid broke the mould of sleeping in obvious places like beds and chairs by trying out the paper recycling bun and now Nancy has caught on and is there everyday!
Sanja liked pushing the wheelbarrow around untill I explained that we did have to take it back up the hill.
If you can take your eyes off the beautiful bird behind the bush you may notice the cute little birds nest no more than a metre off the ground but well hidden inside this thorny little tree.
I had a visit from an old friend – one not seen for decades!- and we went for a walk in the woods. The area we are standing in will be inpenetrable in a couple of months time as the brambles etc rise. So here is an uncommon view back across the valley at Barabrith. More about Dan can be found at his website – https://www.danmilner.com/ – I hope he sends me his photos from his stay here and then maybe we’ll get some proper snaps uploaded here!
These two are getting well into the spirit of the season!
Not seen poor Dan for 30 years and within 24 hours I have him painting my balcony fencing ! Those glasses make him look a bit geeky, but he’s not really!
One gets more mature with age …. allegedly!
Not quite enough blossom to start a Japanese festival with but tis a pretty picture and a good start for this new tree.
What’s going on over there then?
The late Feb suden snow that then froze on the trees broke or partially snapped loads of branches and now I’m cutting them down before they fall on someones head!
