Our little country cottage has suffered a cruel double whammy during the last month. The shock of a blustery and wet autumn replacing the warmest and longest summer in recent memory has been exacerbated by the disappearance of our beloved bullfinches from the garden. It may be the abundance of soft fruit and seeds, or perhaps they are away catching bugs and spiders; whatever the reason, we have been mourning their loss keenly and wondering what happened to our colourful feathered friends.
