Yesterday, I went up to town and had a long and rather boozy lunch with Erik. I'm feeling a little fragile, today, which combined with the weather meant that we just threw the boys in the field and left them to it.
(I'm decidedly not complaining about the weather. The grass needs some rain!)
I've just come back from a (shortish) walk with the pooch. Before I went out, I opened the gate to the field, to see if they wanted to come in. They were still up there when I got back, so I guess that they're not.
Also on the way out, I went and got the post: although it's lovely and helpful of the postman to just sensibly leave parcels in the plastic box by our letter box, and helpful of him to sign for things for us, rather than making us have them redelivered, in weather like this I really would rather he got out of his van and walked a few yards to the house, rather than stacking them all up so that they overflow the box and get rained on.
On the way to the post, I stepped in the pond that's reappeared at the end of our drive, and was reminded that my left boot had started to leak. When I brought the post to the house, I also swapped into my old pair of boots.
As we walked around the woods, it became apparent that, as well as having a dodgy lining, the right one of my old boots also leaks slightly. When they've all dried off, I'm going to see if they're identical enough that I can just mix and match, but I've also got the new pair that I bought in the sales out from the cupboard: time to start breaking them in!
The bluebells are still coming out, in the woods. I did notice that the one or two white ones we saw the other day is now a definite patch, but I didn't take a picture because my phone was getting wet!
This was quite odd: there was a little patch of at least half a dozen trees with blobs of foam at the base of their trunk. It looked like something was being washed down the side of them, so I guess it's sap, or something insect-related, but it was very odd:
