What are you all up to today? - part 3

Sorting out kit after Fishing Guiding day yesterday up in the hills. Was surprisingly cold for July with almost no fly life (Global warming)> Off again tomorrow to Clywedog and guiding there.  Hard life and wont be away in the van this week. 

I was at Clywedog reservoir a month ago, watching the Ospreys, guess the chicks have grown considerably.  It's lovely around there which I really enjoyed.

Great day today,  walk was lovely. Stopped off at the Nat Trust tea rooms half way on our Dunwich walk,  thanks oneputt for the recomendation. Finished the walk with a pint of Adnams at the Ship,  sorry Wherenext missed the fig tree. 

This evening we visited Friston where they had lots of vintage cars on display on the green.  The CL owners have just returned with their steam engine. Wonderful. 

Those Ospreys have been there or some 8 years and only us fishermen knew until someone blabbed to the RSPB.Now they dont get any peace

In a break between clients.

Before I left the house this morning, we had visitors for breakfast......Henry and her 5 ducklings came up onto the patio

Boy were we pleased!

 

Wonderful news Ian!  

Oh dear, I am in a foreign country where I do not speak the language - nor have had any tuition in it - have left my passport behind.

Bless you Wales for understanding my predicament.

Powys Castle - wonderful!,  Chirk tomorrow, where next? LLandidrod wells?  You have been warned!

If you are going to Chirk tomorrow redface, you must go to see the Pontcysyllte aquaduct in Llangollen, it is spectacular!   As for " Bless you Wales for understanding my predicament", I wouldn't worry about that....many people who are Welsh born and bred cannot speak the language!   

Thank you Taffy -  that I have seen today and its the castle tomorrow, provided the ominous looking clouds don't drop their water.

Thanks for the comments folks.  We've had an afternoon at Titisee today.  Very warm while walking around, but just a touch cooler now we have got back to the caravan.  Almost time for tea - or rather, beer!!!

Have a great holiday DSB. Hope you are enjoying your new caravan.

Thanks Millie.  New caravan is fine and we are especially liking our Thule wind out awning.  We've taken a leaf out of ValDa's book and left the side panels at home, so we are managing very well will just the canopy.  Only rain so far was on a travelling day.  Another travelling day tomorrow from  here in the Black Forest to Macon in France.

Good to keep up with everyone's news.

Best wishes to all - especially to those who are out in the caravan.

Officially finished work for holiday but still have paid holiday to come so technically still employed.  Feels very liberated. ? on the final bits of my list . Son partner and dog arrive Saturday for overnight stay, not caught up with him in the flesh for six weeks or so and longer for her, really looking forward to it. Did last visit to aunt before our trip and tidied her garden another tick ?.  Then had lovely Skype with daughter and granddaughters - lounge us covered with toys everyone happy and daughter laid back, one week exactly until we see them in the flesh, can't believe its coming round this quick.

Have a great time B2.

Up early and left the house for Strumpshaw at 6am, arrived at 6.30hrs walked across railway line, and arrived at the reception hide spent5 minutes watching a heron fishing and decided to head of to the Fen Hide.  Stopped at the cherry tree by reception and pinched one or two before proceeding, 40 yards later it absolutely bucketed down so reversed direction, back to car and home by 0730hrs, still raining!

Oh Oneputt how disappointing. Forecast for here much rain clearing early afternoon, from the pictures, as skyping daughter so sound down! Warm overcast haven't done washing but expect if I do the rain will arrive ?. Maybe today's the day for sorting photos? The benefits of wildlife without the natural elements!
