LOOKING TO EIDER SIDE

I went down to the beach late afternoon and there was a raft of eider ducks floating about companionably, chatting to each other like a crowd of Frankie Howerds which made me smile. The gulls were trying to harass them which made them move on occasionally (extra), but I think they seem to be such lovely, peaceful birds.

My two youngest sisters have been staying for a couple of days, and we've been eating our bodyweight in cake, which along with trying to keep up with work as well, has kept me away from Blip. (I've back blipped two days.) They've moved on up to the Borders now, and I shall be joining them on Sunday for more cake! They're such a bad influence!
