Lovely Sunday

4 comments

Woke up early this morning (I tend to stay up late and then oversleep in the mornings!) so managed to get to church on time. Good service (about work of Gideon organisation) – very interesting. When I got back home Chloe seemed to want to walk (which is unusual as she just usually likes to potter about the garden) so we set off and had a lovely walk in the woods. It was very quiet – not many people about and most seemed to be heading back home for lunch. We saw one or two squirrels but too far away to take photos.

I prefer the woods when the leaves are off the trees and I can see around me. I think that’s a legecy of all the years I spent living on lovely Romney Marsh where you could see for miles wherever you went. Also I know there are wild boar about in this area and I have a real fear of meeting one! My daughter saw one as she drove to work one evening; he was ambling along the side of the road regardless of traffic. My granddaughter also saw one as she came back from school on the school bus. The bus had to wait until it had crossed the road.

When we returned from the walk I looked at my back garden and the sun was still shining so I took out the mower and mowed the back lawn. It looks much, much better. I wonder how many times more I will have to do it this winter? Unfortunately just as I was thinking that perhaps I would cut the front lawn too the first spots of rain appeared. I did, however, manage to cut back a few leggy perennials before I retreated indoors. I have left the very tatty looking evening primroses as they are still flowering and Little ’Un enjoys those.

All cosy indoors now, very grey outside. Chloe is fast asleep in the chair and I feel like nodding off myself!
