Wild, Windy and Wet – 13 March 2026

That about sums up the early part of the day.

Scamp was out at FitSteps in the morning. While she was out I made a fair attempt at cleaning up the living room table. It’s still quite tidy now, but I’m going to attempt to clean it up before I go to bed.

When Scamp returned I couldn’t decide whether to stay home or go out for a walk. The weather sorted out that problem for me with heavy rain showers that came and went for most of the afternoon.

I finally decided to go, and got a few shots of the Grey Heron that seems to have decided that there’s good fishing to be had in St Mo’s pond. It’s a few years since we’ve had herons fishing in the ponds. I hope this one stays. They are such leisurely birds in the air with their large wingspan. I managed to get some photos without being caught in the rain showers. Also, the wind had dropped, but I was on my way home by then.

The heron didn’t get PoD. That went to a Hawthorn leaf on a tree. The green leaves seem to have appeared really quickly this spring, but the trees are holding back on the leaves just yet, at least until May arrives. I suspect.

I’d ordered some coffee beans from Henry’s a couple of days ago and complained about the likelihood of it not being delivered until tomorrow, or even Monday, but when I was leaving the house to go on my walk, the man was just coming along to deliver it, so I had to eat my words this time. I still don’t trust Royal Mail.

We got the sad news that Marion’s mum passed away a few days ago. I think we only met her a few times, but we’ve know John and Marion for a long time.

Tomorrow we’re hoping to go to our first dance class in about a month. I hope we manage to get my left foot and right foot sorted out before we go!
