Lovely day

It was a lovely day today. Yesterday it was very windy, today the sky was blue, it was 23 degrees C (that’s warm for us) and the wind had dropped considerably. The Howgills look magnificent in a blue sky.
I made some Tomato Soup this morning, I’m starting to reduce my glut. After lunch I picked up pine cones on the lawn. We have a robot mower and it doesn’t like pine cones from the Wellingtonia. The wind yesterday deposited a huge number on the lawn. One of the cones had this wonderful lichen (I think) attached to it. This can be seen in extras, although sadly, it’s not a good shot.
