Yes, it is most odd how time seems to be flying this year Roobarb. In the South I noticed that lilac is in flower already, which was a bit of a shock!
Seems you had a good sleep and a pleasant day which is good.
We had another bright morning with strong Easterlies, and as usual on a Sunday morning I attempted to make contact with my family in Oz. Glory be, for the first time in almost 2 months I got to speak to my grandson, who is five, and bright as a button. I had a guided tour of the race track he has built out of Lego, was re-introduced to the guinea pigs, and had some fun under the "dooner" while he worked out how to stop "the blackness" so I could still see him.
Eventually H and I walked over to the lakes, and were flabbergasted the car park was crammed to overflowing. It turned out there were simultaneous athletic events on the field, and cycling events at the Velopark, but it was possible to give the crowds a wide berth and the lakesides were quiet. We were delighted to see a family of 6 goslings with parents, which I assume was the family I saw on Tuesday. Lots of song birds and some butterflies too.
Returning home a toad was striding along the path and had almost reached the beach road, so H picked him up and carried him to some wild land behind the pond in Young's park. Hopefully he will stay away from traffic. While we were there we noticed 3 cygnets have hatched at the pond.
H had a surprise video call with a sibling at lunchtime, and then during the afternoon we walked inland to Oldway Mansion, via Victoria Park. Although there weren't any ducks in the leat where we saw the 6 hatchlings last week, we did find a family of 8 ducklings busy on the pond nearby.
Watched "Line of Duty", penultimate for this series.... haven't got the faintest idea how it will be wrapped up!
