The post begins with some photos of the new en suite bedroom which Joy returned to last night. It was if she had never slep anywhere else and she was thrilled with the facilities.
For Joseph, today was the day of the final SATs exam in Year 6 and he's done well throughout the week with all the pressure and despite Bridie being sick all night, another bug doing the rounds at her nursery.
Alison was at school where she has calculated she just 8 weeks left before retiring again, this time for good I would say. She is tired for sure and having Joy here too makes a good deal more work for everyone.
Joy and I got the motorhome out and set off to Blashford Lakes which was chosen as I remembered being able to park near the hides, meaning she would not have to walk too far. She loved it there and was entralled watching a blackheaded gull on the nest, as well as looking out at tufted ducks, canada geese, little grebe, Egyptian geese, starlings, oystercatcher, lapwing, jackdaws, buzzard, gadwall and a high flying heron.
We drove nearer the education centre and Joy managed the walk to the Woodland Hide and back during which we heard blackcap, robin, blackbird and greenfinch. There were also constant calls from a chiffchaff and we saw and heard a garden warbler. All very exciting.
I've potted on a few more tomatoes and there is a good crop of basil and coriander ready too.
