Raditha’s Photos

It’s more than ten weeks since we moved into this house. That’s the reason that this blog has been somewhat neglected of late – it took a little bit of time to settle in, to catch up with a backlog of work and then to submit my MBA asignments. Th backlog is something that can never be cleared and I have twelve more months to work on my MBA which means about 25 more asignments. But this is definitely the the time to revive this blog and to post some photos of the new house. If I wait any longer the walls will be covered by little palm prints and childrens’ scrawling.

That is a Great Tit peeking out of that flange. The flange and the GI pipe seen here are part of the swing on the lawn of the great western bungalow. The swing might have been made many years ago from decommissioned hot water or steam pipes from the tea factory. One wonders how many kids would have enjoyed riding on it, my kids just love it. Not just kids, the swing is strong enough to support the weight of adults too. Occasionally a bird like the one pictured here decides to make a nest inside the hollow tube. This photo was captured during our previous visit in May. On our most recent visit the bird was missing. Either it had given up on the nest (probably gets too hot during warm weather) or the eggs had hatched and the young had flown away
