As a lot of you are aware I have been trying very hard to entice birds in to my garden.
Yesterday I forgot to get more "fat balls" so I thought I will make one. I rendered down some fat put some sultanas and nuts in to the liquid.(Hope that is OK) I then poured
the liquid in to a plastic tumbler, forgetting to make a small hole to thread string through. So I just dangled the string down to the bottom of the tumbler, it immediately floated to top,Next brilliant idea I put an old teaspoon in to hold string down until it started to set..As usual in my house kids turned up, had to make cuppas so without thinking I popped the whole thing in to the freezer., forgetting to remove the teaspoon!!!!!!! Managed to remove the ball from the tumbler but teaspoon is now being used as a foothold by the birds when they are at the "ball".
I know I know it must be my age. The kids thought it was hilarious when the looked out the window today. Lorna
