it came, it went (sunshine)

We woke last Sunday to a glorious and sunny day!
We all went straight outside to soak it up.

It was lovely to finally get close to the flowers.
Not a raincoat in sight!


I climbed ladders to take down and clean the birdie boxes.
Sadly, there was a Tit skeleton in one.
I moved the box to a much safer 'cat resistant' spot.

We visited family in Cholsey and bought eggs at their local farm...


I loved the colourful ones the best, and they belong to Ben ...


Best of all I loved the gentle cows!
Always have and always will.


But then I returned to work and this happened again
R A I N

I didn't even fancy opening the office window to take this (I work on a beautiful country estate, well it is when it isn't raining!)

Bingley and Darcy are keeping their paws crossed for more sunshine and respite from the floods.
Take care xx
PS. Shortly after this display of brotherly love, they had a scrap.

6th Gotcha year!

We are Valentines! But more important than this, we are 6 today!
It's lashing down outside so we haven't been out in the garden birdie watching for long, but we have had some treats...


Bingley and Darcy sleeping off their Birthday

Winding back the years!
... Arrival! their first few minutes in their new home...

settling in ... and exploring ...

Here are shots taken of the River Thames this week, having burst its banks
the lower photo is during part of my commute to work ...
Counting our blessings that our home is on a hill.

over the rainbow

"Count the rainbows,
not the thunderstorms ..."

These were taken this week .... 
We are having an absolute downpour, day and night!


Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire


The Hoe, Plymouth


Liskeard, Cornwall

Mr Bingley may have done better to search for the pot of treasure, rather than someones tail!
