Today is dark, wet and blustery with little light. No inspiration until I came upon these ferns in the lane on the way back from fetching the newspapers at the village shop. I had had my eye on them for a couple of days and although being buffeted in the wind, I hope they are good enough to brighten up the day.

The cattle sold moderately well at market yesterday and the couple who came to see the bulls liked them but hav'nt made up their minds as to whether they want to buy one.
