RESULT!!!!!

Talking of tits....no I'm not being uncouth...i mean blue tits, today has been rather uplifting! (breast speak must be on my mind!) Just outside our kitchen window hangs the result of a Design and Technology project courtesy of our daughters 6th form creation. A most attractive bird table and nesting box. For a child who barely if ever paid any attention to our feathered friends I suppose it seemed somewhat of a surprise that she would 'home in' (pigeon talk) on the idea of such a design project. None the less, the hanging table looks both practical and positively attractive to the eye even though i'm not necessarily giving it the 'birds eye' view! Oh ....the comments are coming thick and fast this morning! :-) There was I, just about to pour myself a drink, with one eye on the garden, when a little blue tit sat upon, looked inside and then spent the next few minutes sizing up the potential of the nesting site. Mesmorised, I stood still, waiting, watching and hoping. Will it be big enough, will he/she find it cosy, does it suit her/his needs, close enough to schools? Oh my, where am I going with this thought. Fact is that finally, and hopefully the design project will become home to a family of tits, something our daughter E may never have imagined possible. My day has been transformed. A result indeed!
