3 years in June

It is a lovely day ( so far) this morning. And keeping the slight "Bird" theme going, I noticed the pair of blackbirds, beaks full of nesting materials, swooping back and forth from the old nest by the cottage's front door.
Every year the couple have raised their chicks just feet away from our lounge, and this year seems to be no different. It got me thinking that in June we have been over in Wales THREE years. God, how time passes.
The one thing I do notice with living at a quieter pace is that you notice the little things. The arrival of the blackbirds,like the green sprouting on the allotment and the increased egg production of the hens, mean longer, warmer and comfortable days outside, and hopefully a bit of space from the wet damp winter we have just experienced
