Long Song

The family left this morning after breakfast, and were home in London by lunchtime. "And nobody was sick!" my granddaughter told me proudly on the phone! (This was, in fact, amazing).
Rain today, but it stopped in the early evening, and while I was putting things away from the garden, this blackbird sang his solo from the top of the television aerial rather than from a tree! His song was beautiful, loud, varied - and long!
Little did he know that one of our trees is due to come down tomorrow, - it has been assessed as dangerous if we have more very strong winds.
