Mum today at Wastview. It's almost impossible to catch her smiling or laughing as she switches so quickly to 'not being amused'!
But she is in very good form. Apart from a cold and for the first time in all our years I caught it from her! She's remarkable really and seemingly content in her world.
It was almost a spring morning today ... but I'm not fooled! Sat in the porch for lunch and went for a walk to Breiwick for floats. Two families of swans were on Tara Water (nearest wee loch to Bousta) by the road. Unusually, both species were present ... the one mute at the back and three whoopers in front.
The whoopers are mum and dad and three young of last year.
Being around Ben's birthday, the oystercatchers are back and I've seen the otters and a gannet out to sea ... so it's coming ... feeling balmy at around 10 degrees!
