Check out these birds....

I popped up to the local trading estate for some good old fashioned highway robbery the week before last.

This is how it happens...I need something for the garden and so pop into our local garden centre (which shall remain nameless to negate any potential libel threat). I select what I want, then I go to the counter, put my hands up and get casually fleeced by the woman in the Dick Turpin mask. Like sipping tea through a tramp's sock, it always leaves a slightly bitter taste in my mouth.

Not today though. For hiding in the bushes, unpeturbed by the rampant theft all around, sat these little robins. I was reminded that even in this hectic modern world in which we choose to immerse ourselves, there still is always room for a bit of love for a fluffy bunch of birds
