April Showers.
A Blustery showery day, with sunny spells. We walked at Ocknell Pond this afternoon. This is one of the carparks that the forestry commission have decided to close from Oct-Mar, supposedly to allow them to maintain them. Well they haven't done any maintenance on this one! The track is full of deep potholes. The Pond is a shallow dew pond and is usualy dry in summer. Today it was full and the whole area was awash with puddles.. Just before we go back to the car it started to rain and just as I put the camera away a small herd of deer ran across in front of us. By the time we got back to the car the shower was nearly over and we saw a rainbow in the sky. However the shower followed us home and then it tipped with rain so no more work in the garden today.
We are remodelling the garden this spring and photos will appear soon.

A beautiful Spring day
It was so beautiful today the sun shone and although there was a breeze it was warm! We went back to Highland Water to see the daffodils. These are in the remains of a garden where a forest cottage once stood. The forestry commission are doing a lot of work here to restore this part of the forest back to how they think it ought to be and I think they may be digging the daffodils up so this might be the last year we see them. Missy found a big stick and insisted on carrying it. This meant we kept having to dodge out of the way or be hit by the stick! When we got to the stream we paused a while and watched some pretty wagtails darting up and down the river.
