Breakfast view

This morning I got up early to watch the day begin - because I wanted to and not because I had to!   But it was so dull I went back to bed to moulder and listen to the radio.   Delight! - there was Lionel Kelloway on the Living World talking about beavers in Scotland, reminding me of a wonderful evening in the Ardeche sitting outside a restaurant in the middle of nowhere overlooking a river and suddenly spotting a small sapling frantically waving about from its base.   It proved to be a busy beaver who we watching about his business for a half hour or so.   A magical evening.

When I did get up the sun had started to break through catching the rain droplets on the garden furniture I seldom get to use....
