The magnet doesn’t just attract people!

I was ready to get on with cake but went to the shop to get a couple of items that I might need. That was at about 8am and on the front lawn there was a young seagull just lying there. I spoke to it and went quite near and it didn’t move.  When I came back from the shop it was still there. I went indoors and then out to feed the garden birds, then went out to check on the gull that was wandering near the road. One man went by and said that the adult gulls had been attacking it earlier. Another man came along and asked if I would him to encourage it into the garden. I will say ‘she’ now as I decided it looked like a girl!  I went into the house and got the key to steer it into the walled garden, it clearly couldn’t fly. I had to pick her up to get her through the gate, she looked big but there was really nothing of her! I moved a seed tray with water in near her and went and got some bird seed.

I got the first two cakes made and into the oven and then went over to see Bel. A pity this photo is out of focus as I took it from inside Bel’s lounge. There was a huge lorry that had a fork lift that fitted into the back of it, the man really struggled to get it reattached.

Straight out to the walled garden, the seagull was having a drink nd even stood in the water for a while.

Between cake mixing I popped out every now and then. t one point she got on the steps near the outhouse and had a sleep with her head in her wing.

Meanwhile the cats were driving me to distraction as they had the day indoors!

First two batches cooling, and one in the oven when I took the photo. All out now and I will go down and wrap them before I go to bed.

When Jayne came to mow the lawn and they said they would take the gull to Jaynes mothers place where there aren’t cats. She has messaged me to say she is doing well and her mum is cooking scampi for her! She did have a sore place on her back, presumably inflicted by the adults. Fingers cross she makes a good recovery.

I will be in bed once the cakes are sorted as I am shattered!
