Deliberate air conditioning

Another wonderful sunny and warm day so not sure why we stoked up the fire. The plan today was for that leaky window in the lounge to be removed and, knowing what a cold mortal I am, Ian decided to keep the fire ticking over. But neither of us was expecting the temperature to be in the low 20's so we wished we hadn't bothered. The breeze coming through once the window was removed was most welcome.

 Leaving Ian to get on with the window I headed off for a walk. Hardly anything wildlife to photograph and not much in the way of bugs either but I did find a bush full of sloes. A half a bottle of gin was left over so putting some sloes in would help 'top up' those other bottles after racking in December. I think I got a bit carried away with the gathering of them though.

Oh dear, looks like more Gin needs to be bought. This is getting expensive! (note to myself STOP PICKING SLOES!)

A very enjoyable visit to Beale Park yesterday and as promised, I've put a few photos on this blog but the majority are on my wildlife blog.
