Out and About ..

Mum had been obsessing about things she imagined had happened at the care home (bonkers things, rather than things which could possibly be true) .. I couldn't really make sense of it .. and a few days ago she said she wanted to write them a letter. I encouraged it as I wanted to see what she wrote and thought it would get it out of her system.

Unfortunately she wrote a lot of disjointed rubbish and obsessed about the letter - taking it up to bed every night ..

Finally yesterday I had the brainwave of getting her to write the letter she kept saying she wanted to write to the Queen, about a photo of her, aged 10, dressed as Queen Mary in a parade! I shall blip the photo one of these days ..

I'm not sure why I put all that on today's blip .. except to say, I left her writing to the queen and went to buy a bird table - found none for sale, and went to Sunk Island before lunch where I saw a red kite!! They have only been seen there three times before so that was rather exciting!

In the afternoon I buzzed out to Kiplingcotes and saw the little owl, then went to Rifle Butts Quarry to see if there were any butterflies left .. not many - but lots of interesting grasshoppers!

This (I'm told) is a field grasshopper :)
