Best foot forward.

Just as Mrs. K. was putting her best foot forward on the promenade, so was this Redshank twenty yards away on the shoreline.

From the book I think it is probably a first winter adult.

Later I drove an old friend to a Kendal Lunchtime Concert where we enjoyed an hour of lively Baroque music performed by a well known group who call themselves Red Priest. In tribute to Vivaldi of course.

And the sun shone.
