Bushy park

We had good intentions of getting up early and out but as it happens we didnt wake up til 7 am and by the time we were up and breakfasted it was gone 9am which is far too late for a Saturday jaunt to Bushy on account of the park run and lack of parking. We did go a bit later and was rewarded with the Black swan and mute swan swimming together. walking back we spotted a fallow deer stag. Rather sad to see the fallen willow tree that the kids love climbing over is slowly being chopped down. The core is absolutely rotten so I am guessing it needs to come down for safety 
Long call with canada this evening. Christie sent me the pictures her agent had sent her of the house she owns. The last tenants have left it in an unbelievable state .

She was hoping to sell it this year but not now as they need to spend approx $10,000 to put it right.

Then there was was covid. they had a coupe of dogs and a cat as well
