Ducking out

“Look!” I said to R, pointing. “A weasel! No, a stoat!” as I saw the distinctive black tip to its tail. We were walking up the carriage drive at Charlecote, and the stoat was no more than ten feet away … Continued

R and I went for an early walk around Charlecote this morning. I’d been hoping that I might catch some dragons on the “basking fence”, but by the time we arrived it was warm and sunny, and the numerous Migrant … Continued
