Two men and a boat ...

... and a dog. The tide was way way out and these two were about to leap into their amphibious dinghy and go out to a boat in the bay. The dog was not invited but had a good time busying himself after they'd set sail. 
The silvery light continues and I took a sneaky hour and a half off  book work to hit the garden. The first daff is out and I have cleared the brambles and ivy away from all the little clumps ready for them to burst forth. Lots of snowdrops out too. The herons are nesting in the trees and making a right racket and now the thrushes are  competing with the robins for the dawn awakening. Spring to look forward to.
