Ladies who lunch

See also last year's blip. We hadn't seen A and C last night, so this afternoon we walked up to the bergerie to say hello. After being greeted by the three woolly ladies and Maya the border collie, we found A up a tree (see extra) -- there's always woodland management to be done. After tea and Christmas cake, we joined A on his customary walk in the woods with the sheep, who enjoy finding tasty morsels in the undergrowth, before heading home. It's been a mild day, but we felt a few spots of rain, and now the wind is getting up. It's going to be another quiet night in.
