Tuesday.



One thing I meant to say about our weekend away :- It turned into a rare bird weekend for us. When we set out from home on Friday morning we saw a little egret on the water meadows near the river Brett. Hadn't seen him for some months so it was lovely to see him in our area. An hour later we called to see our friends Frank and Jenny, and in their garden we watched a nuthatch feeding, and we hadn't seen one of those for a good many years. And on our way home yesterday, only a couple of miles from home we saw a young barn owl hunting. It was in an area where, up to a few years ago, we would have been fairly sure to see one, so it's nice to think they may be making a comeback.

The photo is one I promised yesterday to show sister-in-law Sue (who is the lady on the left of the picture). I hope she can make the picture stand up straight for I can't; Sue, you will have to lie down on your left side and look at the picture then you should be able to see it properly.

Must get what's left of an early night now- got an early start tomorrow.  Good night All.
