Rain Stopped Play

We had hoped to Screen some more soil today, but following the rain we have had in the last couple of days, it was just too wet. Oh how I remember that problem. Our Topsoil production was one of the things that used to keep me awake in my previous life.
Never mind. One of our many Red Admirals came to say hello while we were looking at the state of the soil. This one landed on Husband's back!




After abandoning the garden, we FINALLY got our bikes out and went for a bike ride around local villages. Calling in to say 'Hello' to Ollie on the way. Back home in time for a well earned cuppa and time to watch the birds - only they all disappeared as we sat down! Shortly after which a Kestrel was chased out of the field by a rook. The only bird brave enough to sit it out was this juvenile woody. He just sat, very still, for ages. Then got busy feeding again.
