Better bread

Hatchett's Pond in the New Forest this morning. A great place for feeding the water birds. A young family brought down the remainder of their breakfast loaf and sent the gulls and the ducks berserk, but with the crust of a posh Farmers' Market loaf in my pocket (okay, a tad mouldy, I'll admit), this swan preferred to stick with me. Did I mind? No, his table manners were definitely better bred. We saw eye to eye, you might say.

After which I had a blissful afternoon in the garden, then cooked an Indian meal for my folks. Life on a sunny Sunday is pretty good..

Have a good week xx
