Been doing a lot of reflecting recently..

I didn't mean to lessen the moorhen, or mess with the hen more, make anything wild, foul anything up, or demean any semi aquatic wildfowl in any way, shape nor form. I pressed the wrong button.
There I said it - others know what all the dials and knobs do on their magic image contraptions - and I am learning slowly.. but rotate left and ROR are simple enough concepts. Funny how I immediately liked the resultant image though.

Lovely walk with Premal through Snuff Mills - not seen each other for 15 yearsish - and it doesn't seem a day. Incredible how those 'extended family' bonds are so strong after so much time and so many miles. Rob is off wood turning with his guru for a few days..

So lovely to have time for a real spuddle - and the catching up will continue with a few visitors planned to extend the transient pleasure of this base touching joy. Let's hope that she has brought more than one day's worth of NZ sunshine - hardly 'high summer' today - but after the recent rains - like the re-affirmed friendship, 'twere gorgeous.

She turned my world upside down... bloomin' Kiwis :D
