Smug

by JDO | posted in: Birds, Warwickshire | 0

I felt anything but smug when I woke up this morning (later than usual, after yesterday’s route march around Farmoor), opened the curtains and found that the lane was full of National Grid vehicles. We’d been warned twice, first by … Continued

By coincidence, I had two unconnected appointments at Stratford Hospital today – routine blood tests at 11am, and an eye clinic consultation, for which R would need to drive me, at 2pm. Rather than us making two separate car journeys, … Continued

R had to be in Stratford first thing this morning, and I went in later to join him for lunch. Best of the day’s birds was this female Blackbird in Holy Trinity churchyard, who landed so close to me that … Continued

R and I went to Stratford for lunch today, in belated celebration of the fact that Saturday marked the 39th anniversary of our first official ‘date’. In truth, having all the family over at various points in the weekend was … Continued

Full-body commitment

Having overdone the gardening yesterday (eeeurgh), I awarded myself an easy day today. I also wasn’t feeling the love for standing up on the Cotswold scarp waiting for the owls to perform, so I wound up going into Stratford with … Continued

Surprise

The Boy Wonder is coming to stay tomorrow, and because it’s recently occurred to me that many of the toys we have here for him aren’t age-appropriate any longer, and it’s forecast to be a stormy weekend, I went on … Continued

I’m not sure how I managed to justify a trip to Stratford with R today, given that I had enough stuff piled in my in-tray to keep me at my desk for a week, but anyway, it happened. We walked … Continued

After lunch with R in Stratford I went for a walk along the north side of the river, which ended in Holy Trinity churchyard. There was a lot of bird activity going on, and in the half hour I had … Continued

Grey

It was another deeply grey day, but I can only be stuck at home for so long before I start tunnelling out under the floors, so when R went off to Stratford this afternoon (nowhere in Evesham having been able … Continued

With the weather forecast to deteriorate steadily through the day I thought that it wouldn’t be sensible to stray too far from home, so I just went over to Charlecote and walked around the park. It was heavily overcast and … Continued
