Too much food for the goats

As we continue the autumn “tidy up” there are wheelbarrows full of bean plants and squash plants. We will have to ration the helpings or risk bloated goats!

In the duck house the “gang of four” got indoors before Lucy the goose and her companion Lola. They ate their supper before the goose went inside and pushed them out of the way. She’s a hungry goose.

The copper beech hedge is showing its best colours
The lime tree leaves have turned pale yellow

The sun set on another beautiful day

And mum was on good form this morning. We had laughs, gossip and farewell kisses. Lovely

As the sun sets I am thinking about a young woman

Whose name I had never heard before yesterday evening.

I was watching the news hour on Al Jazeera TV channel and read a caption which told me that a 26 year old Brazilian singer had died in an air crash alongside four other people. Her name is Marilia Mendonca. I looked her up on Wikipedia snd YouTube and I was entranced by her youth yet her maturity, the songs (in Portuguese) and the deep love and connection her audiences felt for her. I have been listening all afternoon as I gardened. Rest in Peace Marilia.
