Friends

A really hot day. Up to 17 in the back garden at one point. We were into Kirkwall in the morning, off loading clothes and surplus kitchen ware to one of the many charity shops. Resisted the temptation to buy more!

In the garden in the afternoon, and then a pootle along the shore. A really nice day.  
Mike has been feeding this blackbird for months and she's getting very brave. Likewise the gentle, collared doves, although they are usually in the front garden, competing with the big, sturdily built pigeons.  John used to feed them, and they have worked out that we are a soft touch!
