I took the camera out with me on my afternoon walk as I wanted to photograph the buzzard that has taken up residence on Mill Road near the brickworks. Every time I got close a car came by and the buzzard flew off.

The outside world intrudes on the hour as I hear the BBC radio news. I spoke with a close friend in Lviv who had received an email suggesting she leave Ukraine. Another friend in Kiev is staying calm and went to a concert last night. Both are staying put and we are praying for peace.
