Pictures to follow shortly

As I step into adult ballet class

The water from the cooking pot sat in the sink in all is deep pink glory. I didn’t want to lift the plug and watch it disappear so I took a photograph first.

The blueberry that G and R brought with them yesterday is now in a pot in the courtyard.

This morning Chris moved some wood and hedge trimmings from the perimeter of the field. Underneath the pile he found a nest with about 15 eggs. Probably pheasant eggs as they nest in hedges or under trees. Inhave covered up the nest as best I can and hope that Mrs Pheasant will return to sit when the time is right.

Two, of course! Gill helped me to put together a charity brochure for 15 years when we both lived and worked in London. She and her husband now live in rural Suffolk with their cat Angel. Neither of us misses the hustle and bustle and traffic of the city.

Nigel and Mabel got spoiled with “cat treats” and I was spoiled with the gift of a blueberry bush. Jeremy will plant the blueberry in a pot because the last time he planted some in the garden I managed to “strim” them when I was weeding!

They look very like broad beans but have an even tougher bean skin.

Field beans are often exported to Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries for cooking dishes such as foules Mesdames

The little lamb (on the right of the photograph)

was calling plaintively when I went out to feed the animals this morning. Her mum and twin sister were in the far field and couldn’t hear her calling so I chased her through the electric wiring and they were reunited.

Little ‘Un is still enjoying his bottles and I enjoy feeding (and kissing) him.

The video (click below) was shot yesterday in warm sunshine. We have been blessed with much needed rain today.
