A moment of peace, and spring may be sprunging

Good morrow. Many years ago my sacred aunt, who probably dated every US airman who set foot in England and seemed to be none the worst to me, but was oft given lip curled askance glances during the brief period at family festive gatherings before they descended into recreations of the battle of Culloden.

Which carries on today. Please keep following the narrative thread !Ah,yes spring has sprung !. Amongst the many war ditties she taught me.

Over the fish farm were 5 Rough Winged Swallows ,4 tree swallows , a Bank Swallow and a beautiful Barn Swallow. Funny how sitting for 15 minutes watching the wind ruffle the reeds and water and the sun dip lower, and enjoying watching swallows, can make the day less pointless.

Took a while, but eventually memtioned birds, by the long way!. Take the time to get to birds, even if it is the long way. Roger. SWMBO shouting something about she has been cooking this pie all day and its still burned, and Russels thinking burned pie or Siamese cat. Will post a swallow pic. Somewhere !
