Cloughjordan woods is springing into spring. Park run this morning was beautiful, I walked the dog as I can’t find my knee supports which I need to run these days ( they’re in a safe place somewhere along with all the other things I can’t find)!! Once all the runners had set off we had the place to ourselves and it was tranquil in a non human way …. The birds were giving it large , especially the buzzards . Fine chat at the finish line with friends and neighbours .
Lots of gardening and outside spring cleaning achieved, sun shine all afternoon.
Ponies, ducks and chickens all sorted at Barnpark , Susan will be home tomorrow and she’s been missed , looking forward to having her back, mucking out 3 stables everyday looses its appeal quite quickly when you only have one pony !
Dinner out at Liz’s ( who is house sitting for G &B) with Mike, Katrina and Katie . Wonderful curry and I rustled up a v good rhubarb and crystallised stem ginger fool with pistachios , quite surprised myself how good it was !! Every one very jolly as the hostess just kept topping us up. Raucous games of Dobble and Rumikin , loadz of laughing and swearing with the Irish and in Irish :0)
Walked home, took all of 2 mins - love living in a village .
