I've seen them before, of course, but not like this, in very close proximity just over our heads, sensing our presence when we raised our arms, which brought them zooming into our space again.
Actually, it was terrifically exciting and this morning, too late I'm afraid at 6.30, for it was already light, too light, so I shall have to get up earlier tomorrow morning, won't I?
Bats are a protected species here and the bat conservancy people will come and monitor the bats in your belfry or rafters and, if you are planning to do renovations or alterations to your home, they will remove the bats for safe-keeping, then return them once the danger is over!
They can even fine you if you do not look after "your" bats , so bats are extremely important "people" down here.
I've been making apple and elderberry chutney and we now have eight full jars of the mixture and I still have more berries waiting to be chutnied; its all great fun and I do love there's firewood to be collected and supper to cook - what is a girl meant to do, hey?
a food stall at the Abergavenny food festival!
Well, must away folks, chat again soon!
Byeeee, Daisy
