Flustered Paramour

It was so nice this morning I decided to go for a bit of walk after my errands on the High Street. I went down to the ford and there were four Mandarins today! Three brightly coloured males, and one female. The female was being pursued by this guy, and in a flurry of splashing and flapping, she was gone - up the bank! Just caught her tail feathers.

Then, after I stopped at the newsagents, I came out to see this fabulous train of about 12 horse-and-carts clopping through the village! Amazing.
