And so British Summer Time begins…….

So they say……we’ve all lost an hour’s sleep but I’m thinking British Summer Time itself hasn’t yet received the memo …I mean the plants have , look…..

Beautiful blossom….
A magnolia coming into full bloom …

Even I suspect the hedgehog knows it if what was left on the patio is anything to go by!

Hedgehog poo!

…but just look at that sky 🥴🥴..no there is a definite communication problem somewhere!

And yes, it’s cold to boot!

Today hasn’t started well to be honest …..in my keenness to get the bedding in the washing machine , I managed to put the television control in with it all ….well I suppose it had never been cleaned but…….

Anyway life goes on , washed tv control or not, and today is my penultimate walk and therefore, daily blog. So I decided I’d hand over to the animals for their curtain calls in order of encounter……

The dairy cows 10 minutes from our house.

I know what you’ll be thinking – how lovely to drink the milk literally on your doorstep. Not so I’m afraid ( although we do drink local milk delivered to our doorstep), the milk from these cows is dried, and then sent over to China for use in baby’s milk!

Sheep and lambs ….still sleeping, I was early this morning!
Shetland ponies – even at that early hour still munching!
Here come the boys………again!
Mums and babies….
Yep, I’m still here….billy no mates!
Mums and babies …as soon as they saw me they came running towards me ….I couldn’t work it out until I clocked the empty feeder…they thought I’d brought their food!
The puddle ducks……
Goosey goosey gander….

Even the horses have winter coats on …..

Now have I forgotten anyone …..buffalo …ha…they’re long gone ….ah I know ….

There we go …..and before you ask , no there were no goats!

I think we are so lucky ….that is an amazing variety of animals within a 2.5 km radius of our house . Before I go there was an elusive bird , making a terrific noise but I wasn’t close enough to see him….however so as not to disappoint…

Tomorrow is my hip’s rest day …certainly not mine! If I told you what I was aiming to accomplish tomorrow you, Dear Reader, would need to go and lie down in a darkened room !!! So I’ll spare you the detail ! Until Tuesday …….
