Give me a pea bob!

Gloomier weather today.

A lot of sport on the TV [If you call Formula One 'Sport'?] But I notice Chelsea are sponsoring the Sauber team. Money goes to money they say.

Anyway. Tess needed a long walk. I needed a long walk.

I saw geese all looking the same way.

I saw dragonflies.

I found a moorhen, which I thought dead, but on closer examination was not. I picked her up and released her on the water where she swam away. She appeared unharmed.

We saw people feeding swans bread, don't they know its not good for them?

Then the southern washlands. Awash with new ponds and wild flowers, including this pea. The Common Vetch.

Vicia sativa, known as the Common Vetch, Tare or simply "the vetch", is a nitrogen fixing leguminous plant. Although considered a weed when found growing in a cultivated grainfield, this hardy plant is often grown as green manure or livestock fodder. There is no firm evidence that this is the same as the "tare" in some English translations of the Bible - ryegrass (Lolium) is another candidate.

Then Tess disgraced herself by attacking two elderly BCCs I said sorry to their elderly lady walker and we slunk off!

Then it was sport and making a tomato sauce and preparing potatos for the chicken we were having for tea.
