Two pheasant hens outside the gate
And a delicious brunch on the table including savoury cheese drop scones. I could get used to this!
Mild autumn days with brown fields and mud stuck to our wellingtons
A box of beets going to market
The beet tops as a treat for Lucy
Nigel the brave “winding up” big dog Zola
Back home to an autumn garden
Preparations being made to turn the old duck house into another chicken run for the new, growing chicks.
London traffic and parking and Brent Cross too….. aargh!
Left the best to last – lunch with mum
The peace of empty holy buildings
Five minutes early for an appointment in St Neots gave me the opportunity to walk through Church Walk to St Neots Parish Church – dating back to the 15th Century and adorned with Victorian stained glass windows.
The plaques to soldiers fallen in the First World War and the Boer War ( indeed any wars) always sadden me wherever I see them.
A huge, completely tranquil building empty except for me. Five minutes of peace and reflection. Thank you.
A wet day – a day for comfort baking
Jam tarts and apple strudel
Nice weather for ducks
Who are happy to be back on their pond, swimming in the rain.
But not good weather for cats, who are snuggled up indoors together on my chair!
The four and the two
Will they become bonded?
