Misty, moisty morning

A lovely gentle misty morning, our morning's walk was a pretty damp affair, a heavy dew and very wet grass. The spiders had had a busy night!

Early start as Mike was away on the first ferry, taking his son back to university with a carload of belongings. Left to our own devices, Ollie and I spent the day outside. Did some tidying up in the garden, and cutting back of plants that have gone over, and then had a bonfire of weed roots and dead branches at the allotment.

Sat on the old bench, watching the hens and keeping on eye on the fire, the smoke going straight up, it was such a flat calm day. Ollie kept his eyes firmly on the hens. He has quickly got used to the fact that when we are along there he is on a tether, so he can see the hens, but doesn't spend his time chasing round their run, trying to round them up!
