Busy day…
Didn’t realise just how busy though. Weeded the nettle patch, now it looks like garden. Put together the garden furniture – seems like yesterday we stored it for Winter – (“must use it more this year” – ritual saying). Painted […]
Violets are blue…
Dilly, Dilly. Indeed they are, and they’re invading the meadow by the pond. They’re difficult to photograph and these attempts do not do them justice. They’re small or compact, but incredibly robust, and the blue contrasts well with other early […]
On a roll…
We all like the experience of freshly laundered sheets, especially if they’ve been on the line. We treat the donkeys in the same way. They are cleaned out when fed at breakfast at 05.30 or so, and they have morning […]

Clock change…
Couldn’t think of anything else to do, so wandered through the garden to the river. Always a thought provoking and stimulating sojourn. The last day of GMT and the first day tomorrow of telling the animals that they’ve got the […]

There used to be fish in here, and every now and again the new generation of Herons comes to be disappointed. Otters too have come to investigate, and on one occasion to eat lunch here (see Fish head). One looks […]
