I’m Very Pleased To See This

........ my lovely friend has struggled for food this week....... we’ve been out several times to dig over a small patch of earth so that he could hopefully find something, so I was thrilled to see that he was able to cling on and get a bit of something to eat. I know it’s not the same as being able to help yourself more easily from the bird table but it will have to do for now ;-))

I walked down to the bottle bank and was just leaving when I ran into a photographic friend from the village. We chatted for a while and I became aware of a huge dark cloud approaching, I tried to break off the conversation but this chap could talk for England. Then it started to rain and I was able to make my excuses, just as I was walking away he said “ that’s a really dramatic cloud “, I replied “ that needs photographing over a field” ........... “ a field of oilseed rape “ he replied ............ “ off you go then!” I said laughing ( in the now heavy rain ).
Two hours later I was looking on the village Facebook page and saw the extra I’ve put on ( not my photo obviously) .......... he had gone straight out and taken it .......... I guess that’s why he wins all the village photo competitions ........ I just don’t have the dedication ( he told me that last night he was out at 3am photographing the Milky Way!!! ;-))
