04/10/2016 I went for a walk today, testing my leg and the pinched nerve - it feels much the same after as before. MRI next week.

Maximum temperature 25C, minimum 6C. 26 km/h NE wind. Dry.

Gotcha, I saw a quick movement out of the side of my eye... 

Small lizard, large earth worm...

Common Lizard and lunch.

Chicory flower.

Harvest will be very soon.

Grey Heron, it was quite a distance from me and one click and it was gone.

Why did the cat cross the road ?

Friends - Sparrow and Blue Tit.

06/02/2016 The big freezer packed up last night, repair man not sure what is wrong and will only return on Tuesday!. Panic to find homes for all the food.

Maximum temperature 15C, minimum 4C.  73 km/h S wind gusts, very hard to stand up! Dry, but rain expected tonight that continues for the whole week!!!

Continuing yesterday's walk - Horses and a cormorant on the pole in the dam. Note the mistletoe in the trees.

A grey heron, next time I walk this way I will take the Nikon with the big lens!

The château across the dam.

Walking behind the dam wall.

Some one has been working, but now taking time out for lunch I guess.

The château.

The château's owner was an international 3 day horse eventer,  One of her practise fences.

Logging.

Old man's beard, Traveller's Joy, Clematis vitalba or in French  ‘herbe aux gueux’

More logging.

Manure heap ready for spreading on the land.

Our friends Kerry and Roger nearly bought here, but sadly they have bought just over an hour North.

Abandoned Farm equipment.

Pregnant ewes.  There must be at least 50 in this field, our neighbour is in for a busy time!
