Thanks @punkdoc - just the job!Ā We used to listen to Prefab Sprout all the time.Ā But our favourite poet is a local lad called Luke Wright who is more of a performance poet than Simon Armitage, although they have appeared on the same bill together. Invigorating @Dovefromabove!Ā Ā
This is one - https://en.reservenaturelle-saintdenisdupayre.fr/ available in English.Ā Ā Great viewing facilities and a wide range of species and just 20 mins away.Ā Best seen at dawn and just before dusk at this time of year.Ā
It wasnāt cold @WonkyWomble ā¦ invigorating but not cold. I really had to persuade OH to come in, but now he wants to do it every morning šāāļø šāāļøĀ
Gardening in Central NorfolkĀ on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Of course @Nanny Beach Ā ā¦.Ā who else would my OH be photographing in their cozzie? š²
Some other glamorous blonde in a bathing suit? You are braver than I am, Iām sure it was cold, even though it looks lovely and sunny.Ā Still dry here, Lizzie27, although a bit more overcast. We had a good hour and half walk, had to take my cardie off.Ā The weather forecast from the Met Office was way off this morning. Lucky we ignored it, as we might not have ventured out. We live very near their headquarters, and had noticed an amusing trend in their forecasts. The morning forecast often didnāt match what we were seeing out of the window, but would often change dramatically at about 9 am. We always reckoned that a senior person would roll into work, look at what was actually happening as opposed to what was forecast and insist on an immediate change. Or maybe someone just thought to look out of the window! An impressive place, we got to do a guided tour on one of the Heritage week open days. I hope they will do that sort of thing again in the future.Ā
