Today's weather started OK but the pink ray of light at sunrise turned more ominously into a rainbow as the sky darkened dramatically - you can guess the rest!
LH nobly volunteered to go by himself on a trip to the tip plus dog walk; he phoned just as I was getting concerned to say he was drenched but determined to do the right thing by Poppydog. So a large steaming coffee (for him) and a vigorous rub down and chew (for her)when they returned.
A day of housekeeping pottering, a bit of baking and some patchwork.
More Whoopers on the oyse today; we found the telescope for a better view - 4 adults plus 3 youngsters. Finally reading up about them I discovered some pass through southward, some stay around. Apparently they used to breed here until their eggs were over-plundered as access to their nests was too easy.
A male pheasant thinks his reflection needs a talking to - even Poppydog barking on the inside didn't deter him. Daft bird!
