Hello again, oh look! It appears to be raining *stares out into the greyness beyond the window* I love the rain, as long as you have a nice big brolly & waterproof shoes for walking – there’s nothing nicer than the sound of rain pattering outside to make you feel relaxed Rain, rain, stay a…

The sun is shining…time to blog!
No really, the weather is beautiful today and I have been out for a wander, but now I’m sat at the laptop with an urge to update you : ) Wiley and I heard, and perhaps saw, a lovely little woodpecker during our walk – it was making quite a racket, each knock echoing around…
