Saturday 11.04.2020

As if to nay-say the remarks about cold winds, yesterday afternoon turned still and sunny and by the time we were in the woods the clouds were banking up and it had turned warm and close.


Glad to be able to confirm that the Easter Bunny is indeed an essential worker (thank you Jacinda Ardern: https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-easter-bunny-and-tooth-fairy-essential-workers-says-new-zealand-pm-11969298)and has managed to make his (her?) deliveries in our woods:





Later, as younger dog and I took a final turn round the top field it was a beautiful hazy evening, there were more skylarks than the sky seemed to have room for -one even deigned to pose for a photo opp-


and though the air was evening-fresh it was possible to sit for a while and watch the sun heading towards the horizon. Even younger dog decided to have a quiet moment instead of trying to deal death and destruction to little furry animals.





This random pile of rocks has always been a good place to perch and watch the world turning round
but feel even luckier to have it just now.



And then this morning.......up and round the tops with both dogs but such a splendid scented spring morning (and with forecasts of increasing cool winds again), Yoga was postponed - Saturday see? - change of routine - :) as younger dog and I did that early morning canter around the woods - lapwings and oyster catchers over the fields, an assortment of smaller birds in full throat in the woods themselves - and were back home for coffee and one of those Hot Cross Buns made yesterday: they actually turned into (massive) Hot Cross Cherry Scones due to the unavailability of the conventional ingredients but were delicious anyway - lightly toasted with some very good marmalade lathered on. Yum. :)
