Wonderful...absolutely wonderful.

 

Hearty Easter greetings from Sophie who has been up since five thirty  and has already chased black and white C-A-T off the woodpile and out of the barn.

At the cafe we are given not one but two croissants. The young lady behind the counter practices her well meaning but execrable English on me . ' Good mourninghs mayteeh. How is weees tuesday ?'.  I smile. Sophie is a big fan of two croissant days.

A quick detour to the river to glare at cormorants and have a drink.

Then a sprint home along the valley floor before it gets too warm. When you're a nine year old PONette life is wonderful.... absolutely wonderful. This morning will be spent in the kitchen watching a leg of lamb being prepared - an event that ranks right up there among the years high points alongside the Christmas turkey. There may be gravy tonight !

Last night we dine, virtually, on Scotlands remote west coast : https://www.uigsands.co.uk/
