Tea time

Demolishing the pansies, it is not only the fashionable and sophisticated who eat pansy flowers over their salads!



Lucy who hangs onto every mouthful of ours as she waits for her meal....


And last but not least, there is still the odd butterfly around in this cold weather, slightly blurred though.


Caught this morning, a Rachel sheep browsing in the sun, along this narrow bank, I see rabbits, pheasants and coots, though I can never tell a coot from a moorhen.

  1. Ah well - no winter pansies for you then!

    Lucy does look bereft - such a mournful expression.

  2. Oh darn, he ate them all. What kind of bird is that?

    Lucy is giving the eye that says, “Stay away from my food”

    1. Come tea time and Lucy is out scavenging for food, she loves her greens and will eat the chicken's and bantam food as well. Yes the two tiny birds are bantam blue Pekins,

  3. Oddly enough I too saw a Red Admiral on my perennial wallflower this morning. The sun was fully out but there was a chill wind blowing.

    1. The weather has really changed, the wind is cold and the sun is only warm out of the wind.

  4. The expression "hang dog" springs to mind for Lucy!

    1. You would think we starve her, but her waistline tells another tale.

    1. It is another Rachel of course. Sheep round here are lawnmowers and not meat, Jo is reduced to a couple of blind sheep in her two fields, plus Charlie a 20 year old pony. Interesting point, discuss - why we blog Rachel.
