Afternoon oasis

A morning spent in plumbing stores and builders' merchants not choosing sanitary ware. Return via supermarket click & collect, then the farm shop. Chores mostly done but a feeling of incompleteness.

After lunch a need to get in the open air. Into the woods for the sound of birds and bees. No, no, not that sort of birds and bees, it's still daylight, though who knows what goes on after dark? I'd like to play you the insect sounds, so strong were they, but this is Blip, not Buzzfeed. And that's me out of bee jokes.

Here's the view from the footpath. Nice to see the farmer's crop rotation. this year. Barley in the foreground, oilseed rape further away, tatties top left. Anyway the sun came out on a previously overcast day, and Norwestie walked further than she had for weeks.
