Thank you for all your lovely comments and hearts and stars for my owl and hen harrier - greatly appreciated :)

I went to see mum this morning and she was on good form, and enjoyed eating a bag of Maltesers (with a bit of help from me!)

In the afternoon I took Maisie for a walk somewhere I hoped I could let her off the lead, but it gets dark so early I daren't risk it - poor old Maisie!

Here's Pointy looking in horror at the building work next door.

It's all much higher and closer than I'd ever envisaged.
