Black swan..

.. At Broughton Castle.
On a humid but rainy afternoon.

I always love to visit Broughton Castle (and recommend the books of William Fiennes most highly, especially 'The Music Room').

Earlier in the day, in the garden at home, were sparrrows feeding their young. They were (still) almost my blip for today. The baby in the rain was so forlorn looking.
But the swan won, because you don't get them on the feeder (very often).

I recommended a dear lady wielding a camera to Blip, I hope she joins and finds enjoyment.

So, it's back home, gratin dauphinois  cheese and potato pie already cooking -
and the red wine forecast is looking nothing short of divine.
Over and out.

Happy Friday One and All.
