Blue tit

We woke to sunshine this morning, but by the time I was hanging out the first load of washing, the clouds had rolled over.  It's looked like rain all day, though it hasn't actually rained, but it also hasn't done a very good job of drying the washing.

Now, too late to be of any benefit, the clouds have cleared, and we have some late afternoon sunshine.  It was cold, but for as long as I could tolerate it I stood by our trellis arch, trying to pretend I wasn't there, hoping some of the many birds would come and sit in the hawthorn tree - the only ones who did were blue tits, and they were mostly keeping their distance.
