On my walk today i found About Cow Slips

In this day and age of instant communication. I really do have to ask myself 4 weeks after quite a dangerous incident on Forshaw Heath Road that Closed the road Left us without electricity Caused chaos  for  a few hours Police were in attendance from which Police Force I don’t know The red cross arrived as it was so cold providing hot drinks. The incident was a crane that somehow ended up in a ditch. The attempts at trying to move it caused it to topple and catch the electricity pole which is why we ended up without electricity. The side of the road and the ditch were badly damaged leaving quite a deep hole at the side of the road. For 4 weeks it has been surrounded by bright orange barriers which wrongly we presumed were put there by the highways department. Anyway one of the neighbors called Warwickshire County Highways to find out when the hazard hole would be fixed. Surprise Surprise they knew nothing about it. Now call me silly shouldn’t th...

Earlswood Wildlife Partnership Contact us at:  ewp2010@btinternet.com  or on 07528 595444       Newsletter 13 The exceptionally cold March seems to have put spring on hold but at least the early days of April have given us more sunshine (albeit with a biting wind!). The EWP has now bought an IR digital movement camera that is activated when motion is detected. It is able to record still photos and video footage both day and night which will be very useful in monitoring wildlife in the area. As funding permits, we are looking into the feasibility of a kingfisher nest bank, repairing the artificial islands in Terry’s and Engine pools and repairing the otter halt.

Our little dog is now walking nicely on the lead and has almost given up tangling himself in the flexi lead. It been 4 long weeks of jumping, leaping lead biting but touch wood it seems to have stopped for now.  He can sit and he will play fetch in the garden but we are no where near brave enough to let him off the lead on a walk yet as his recall is not so hot and instead of sleeping with the cats he now chases them mind you they do play him up and they still nick his bed so I take it they don't mind to much. However it has to stop and that is next on the list to tackle plus his thieving tendencies. He is a little T leaf and will nick anything we leave lying around watches, glasses, socks, toilet rolls you name it he nicks it. Dog toys remain surplus to requirement and apparently boring. Id forgotten what it was like to have a young dog having had so many years of a well behaved dog I must admit this has come as quite a shock to the system but i must ha...
