 Jenny Wren - Pat
I had to give up driving last September Martin, the arthritis got worse and I really couldn't face another winter on the road. My old Boss offered me local/light work driving but I always wanted to do the job ( as I see it) properly or not at all.
I soon found I was bored though and decided to study and get myself trained to deliver the new Drivers CPC that all lorry drivers have to have. Over the winter I did a few training courses to get myself up to speed, became self employed and decided to write my own courses based on almost 30 yrs experience.
My old firm have 90+ drivers and I agreed to give them priority on my services which means I'm still in the yard and mixing with the old crowd most weeks at some point. I also have time for my second passion which is gardening:)

Regrets? Yes, if I'm honest I miss it so much, but it has turned out to be the best possible compromise and I'm still a part of the firm I worked for for 15 years.

CG....I should be watching for babies in the garden some time soon then!
I too love watching the squirrels and I don't mind them helping themselves to food from the feeders.


To be honest, I suppose I could report the neighbours to the RSPB but they will say they wasn't aware of a nest there, and that would be the truth, so it wouldn't achieve anything.

I suspect the wren is still there, and safe as this happens every year. The hedge is very dense and impossible to see inside so she's well protected.
