This morning we woke up to pouring rain so after breakfast we got togged out in oue rainwear - including me in my dog waterproofs and went for our walk down to the pond. The ducks were out with their ducklings,of course, they like rain don't they...
Then we all had a leisurely morning and the rain developed into a light drizzle only. So after some lunch Sue and I went back into Pocklington. This is because yesterday she bought a lovely signed print from Pocklington Framing Services and wished she had also got another that she also saw there - women !
So 'course we had to go and get it. Lovely bird /wildlife pictures - I must admit I like them. The artist is local too. Have a look at the lovely paintings they have on the link shown on this page if you like.
Anyway after picking up some more groceries and a geranium for the garden at home (called Regalia 'Chocolate 'cos of it's lovely dark colour) ...
...SHE then had to rummage in a craft shop too (Crafty Poppy Can Knit) and then came out with a tapestry kit to do later.
Honestly; I bundled her into the car and made her drive me back to the holiday cottage before she spent any more!!!!! She said the shopkeepers were so friendly - I've never heard such an excuse....
As soon as we got back I got out of the car and dug my paws in (to the gravel!) and refused to go indoors until we had our afternoon walk. So she dumped the shopping changed her shoes and coat and off we went up the field. It is really great here - greenery all around.
After a yummy tea we went out again - when it is evening a peaceful calm descends - lush green trees weighted down by their leaves nearly to the ground, birdsong here and there - a sheep bleating in the fields - no-one in sight - no traffic - the big house Kilnwick Percy just putting on it's lights in the distance - we could be hundreds of miles from big cities - grrrrreat ...
I wanted to say 'good night to Bonny and Clyde who had been indoors most of the day - so went to see them on the patio..
