We got back to a very overgrown and tired looking garden but there was definite signs of life there. After clearing an awful lot of thistles and a few still to go it is already looking a bit fresher and we found some pretty clear signs of life. The Kiwifruit vine that we planted about a year before we left for Hong Kong has kept growing well and we actually have the first signs of it bearing fruit, this is actually very exciting...(sad but true)
I also notice a nest in our Honeysuckle that is growing on the Trellis. I expected that this was an old nest but several times I saw an adult bird fly to the fence with worms in it's mouth and then on to climb into the honey suckle. I lifted the girls up on my shoulders and they both said that they could see small birds in the nest. I got one of our patio chairs and stood on it to get a view. There were indeed some birds in there. This caused a lot of excitement amongst our younger family members.
