Raiding Sparrows....

.... probably quite desperate for something to eat after all the rain. I accidentally turned into this farm road after dropping no.1 grand-daughter off at the station, 20 years old and just back from a trip in the Far East and Australia. How fantastic to be at that opening stage of life where all possibilities are there. Living in Switzerland, she speaks: German, Swiss German, French and English. The extra is a joyous photo of her I published on Christmas Day before leaving for her trip.

Thanks for all the lovely gifts for the Dents du Midi yesterday. Apologies if I don't get to your journal tonight, just found hundreds of ants in the Jacuzzi, dead; some floating, some not. I have been fishing them out with a tea strainer for over an hour ... YUK ... not amused!
