What a beautiful place and the seat is so unusual. So nice for you to visit friends even if it's a fair trek away. 

All has been quiet here lately. No baby pheasants yet but they should hatching any day now.  Mrs duck's first batch are in the incubator as she wouldn't sit on them and now  she has laid another clutch and is sitting on those.  They will be at least another 3weeks.

Going to try and commit myself to my uni course today. It's hard to learn when  I've been out of education so long. But it will get me where I want to be so I'm sure it will be worth it.

Lovely pictures by the way. What a view they have.
