The view back to the village (hidden by the central woodland ), after our climb up the hill to Ian's field where Luna spent a long while investigating burrows and holes, but no signs of little, (or big come to that), inhabitants, thankfully.
I cut most of the grass this afternoon and partially trimmed back the Japonica that's by the bird feeding station before the rain, (well more of a heavy drizzle really), started.   It didn't last for long and at 18.30 the sun is shining again.   Now off to get the pots and tomatoes in the greenhouse watered.
