English Pastoral

It was the warmest day of the year ... so far. To be fair that wasn’t hard but this will take some beating. Weather, hey? Reaching 29° in places they say with tomorrow even warmer. It’s unseasonably hot. Almost an early summer day added on to a spring day hot. Summer may have peaked in April and soon the jumpers will be out again.

Not that I saw much of it; I was in the zone from the moment I reached my desk. Thinking, preparing, facilitating and coaching filled my day.

Just a short walk home. Peaceful and sun dappled.

A quick check of Sophia and Wulfgar The White Beard. Both still in position in their little corner of the lake. It’s amazing how much like a rhododendron a heron can be when it wants to.

Run was a lovely relaxed English Pastoral although I was a little tired and sore and therefore slow. It was warm, sunny, golden with a heady aroma of fertility and shared with cows, squirrels, birds and the same solitary little deer cautiously grazing.
