Sleeping crested grebes

I've heard their mating dance is fabulous to see and so I've been trying to spot them each time I visit the nature reserve to see if it is happening.
Not today.
Warm and springlike today. I enjoyed a long walk before coming back home. Back to back phone calls with my mam and Auntie J. All about the freehold of my mother's house. She's been trying to sort this out for nearly three years and now they want £12000 from her. She's decided not to bother. She just doesn't have that sort of money. 
It's causing her so much stress she's finding it upsetting. I can't say I blame her for giving up.
