A Bird In The Hand

I wasn't due at the studio until 10am but I got up early just in case it was a nice morning. It wasn't!

I headed out but didn't want to go all the way to Ullswater, instead I stopped at Dalemain, just in case the artists were already there who are also taking part in C-Art. They weren't!

Fortunately Jimmy was there, a lovely, elderly man who lives in the Gate House and can whistle for the fallow deer to come down off the fell and has birds coming at his call. I hoped he would have some bird food in his pocket. He had!
