Into April and the air is now tinged with election fever....Jeez, if I hear one more suited cock in shiny shoes promise me tax cuts and two veg in order to be the leader of a fake empire I will retire to a quiet spot in the country and leave it all behind......
....in a quiet spot in the country, the female swan sits up on her nest waiting for the eggs underneath her to release this years cygnets . Digger did not return from the winter so the old lad found himself a younger model and built her a nest in the same spot....shouldn't be long now. The spindly legged water hens on the other hand have been busier and had their little black balls of fluff and the first clutch of tiny yellow stripey ducklings have been spotted nearby.
Sheep and tiny misplaced lambs seem to constantly 'blart' at each other in the field across while the birds seem to have found their voices and sing their little heads off from early morning, bless 'em!!
The decking is slowly being replaced and repaired at the present time so Andromeda sits on her mooring at the moment but it won't be long before she is off and about as the days get longer as we approach the summer months.
The trees are starting to green up and a few plants are showing signs of life and the fish have started to splash about while topping for the surface flies.
As the sun sets after a warm spring day the fire embers glow into the night...
This latest post blog title was inspired today by 'The National', and the title track off the album....the whole album is brilliant!
