Getting ready to go.

It is a sure sign that the summer is drawing to a close when the swallows start to gather.  They are having a final feeding frenzy before setting off on their travels and are gathering in large flocks over the fields and on the wires.  According to Google the collective noun for swallows is a 'flight' or a 'gulp'.

Purdy had her annual MOT and inoculations at the Vets today.  She was very well behaved and the vet thought she was in fine shape.
