When I was telling my neighbour that our house was up for sale because we are moving to NS she told me this little story. Her sister-in-law lives near Halifax and a few years back she was having a really 'off' day and was feeling really homesick. In a bit of a foul mood she decided it would be best if she went outdoors for a walk so on went her jacket and scarf and off she set. She hadn't even got to the end of her garden when she spotted this rather large red-breasted bird singing away. In her emotional state she turned to the bird and blurted out "Don't know what you're looking at, you're NOT even a REAL robin" !!!!!!!

A few minutes later she grinned as she realised what she'd done - but she felt better for it

Hubby has just taken the following movie of the BJ's landing on our windowsill. They look a bit bedraggled as it is pouring with rain today. Hope it plays ok.

Superb they looked cute
