A tender moment!

Last week Mr and Mrs were snoozing at the edge of the pond. This morning, when we arrived at the large pond in Queens Park there was only one swan to be seen. 

I watched as he/she made her way over to the edge then start lumbering over the path to the grass, up the slope and towards the small pond. The other swan, Mr or Mrs, saw his/her partner heading for the water and headed full steam across for a very affectionate reunion. Lovely to see.

Yesterday's pink drink was rhubarb juice. I love rhubarb and bought some early, forced stalks in the supermarket. After I had stewed it there was so much juice that I just had to drain off some of the liquid.
