everything in the Orchard estate is pink now, including this beautiful, if slightly tardy camellia.Apparently the name is derived from Kamel, a Moravian Jesuit, who discovered them in the Philippines (although I doubt the inhabitants of those islands ignored them completely).

bad ear day
Harriet's top tip for the day, don't mess with Spot's frisbee. Bandaging by the boss. Predicted time for bandage remaining on head :- 2 minutes. Actual time 2 minutes 15 seconds.
postscript, 2130,
tip of ear is now missing. The question is, who has eaten it?

on the lane to Latchley
meanwhile Spot has learned to walk on water. But posing has never been a problem.

It is a pity we are unable to record and post the sounds we hear on our walk. There are horses, sheep and cattle in this barn all making a noise plus several cockerels. Note escapees on right.

I thought for a moment that this was an osprey returning from the Middle East for the summer. It looked very pale for a buzzard, and unlike most buzzards did not fly off when it realised we were taking a close interest in it. However, on close inspection it lacks the white forehead of the osprey, and it must be a large fluffy, probably young, buzzard warming itself in the early morning sun.
