To my surprise I looked outside and thought a huge pheasant was sitting atop the neighbours gate. .. this fellow and two lady friends were settling down for a quick snooze. They didn't stay long and wandered off through the village.  I sent out a message to neighbours and the stories of their whereabouts have rumbled all night.. at one point they were being herded by a sheep and later this evening a picture came along of a high telegraph pole in the village with three peacocks balancing precariously on the wires!
Our eldest came home this evening after a wonderful holiday in Spain.  She needs her cat (and to do some washing) before heading back to the boat!  It seemed the perfect time to let little Jasper out into the garden while we cooked and ate supper outside. She was very sweet and prowled about the garden happily.. she climbed trees and sat on the wall and disappeared into the undergrowth but when it was time to go inside we gave her a little whistle and in she came with us!  Perfick!
