We woke up this morning to the mist swirling around the courtyard giving it an eerie other worldly appearance and then it happened we realised it was British summer time.... We raced off in record time to feed and turn the horses out returning in the nick of time to cook our house guest Breakfast. They all arrived serenely because of course they had all remembered .....it was just us that forgot - maybe we're getting old. Meanwhile this week about the farm life continues, beside the stables the Robins have decided to stay again and build a nest in the Bay tree conveniently sited beside the entrance - just right for them to pop out to pick up any stray oats that we might drop when mixing the horses feeds. In fact they arrive precisely on time at each feeding time, perhaps they should be in charge of the clocks! We will listen in the weeks to come for the tell tall cheeping that comes with a successful brood - last year they reared two sets, populating the garden with flashing red breasts. And now after a day that warmed gently to the sun, the mist has closed in again blotting out the sky and leaving the palms stark shapes in the gloom, we continue into British Summer Time, it has a nice ring to it though doesn't it!

Ooops British Summer Time
We woke up this morning to the mist swirling around the courtyard giving it an eerie other worldly appearance and then it happened we realised it was British summer time.... We raced off in record time to feed and turn the horses out returning in the nick of time to cook our house guest Breakfast.

Hi Christine, Thanks for the mention and link - I have been looking in recently, but am struggling with the new PC with Windows 7 and I can't stay logged in, so commenting is tricky. Thought I'd cracked it yesterday, but it's back to being naughty again today. Hope the Robins nest goes well - our Crows are bringing in huge sticks to the house side of the tree this year, so we might get a peek as the babies grow. Sue
ReplyDeleteHi Sue - you're welcome, thank you for sharing your experiences - you take such interesting walks around the area I knew our guest would like to read about them. Blogger can be difficult sometimes - someone wanting to comment on Dani's blog left me a message on face book in the end!
ReplyDeleteI think the crows are feeding with me - stealing poor Wilbur's cat biscuits out of the garden room -even found the saucer hidden behind a chair Grrrr! I am going to have to feed him under cover of darkness (mad cat woman!)
