Mum today at Wastview. It's almost impossible to catch her smiling or laughing as she switches so quickly to 'not being amused'!
But she is in very good form. Apart from a cold and for the first time in all our years I caught it from her! She's remarkable really and seemingly content in her world.
It was almost a spring morning today ... but I'm not fooled! Sat in the porch for lunch and went for a walk to Breiwick for floats. Two families of swans were on Tara Water (nearest wee loch to Bousta) by the road. Unusually, both species were present ... the one mute at the back and three whoopers in front.
The whoopers are mum and dad and three young of last year.
Being around Ben's birthday, the oystercatchers are back and I've seen the otters and a gannet out to sea ... so it's coming ... feeling balmy at around 10 degrees!

Nice to see that swans can do sharing! Yes, hope spring is here.
10 degrees - balmy? Dad, you've acclimatised awful quickly!!
I can imagine how much you must all be looking forward to some warmer weather finally...actually feeling a wee bit cooler (just a wee bit) in the mornings and at night but that's a welcome relief for us just now.
Mum looking well in herself and so glad to know she's more settled. Keep trying to take some photos of her smiling Dad!
Can't wait to show the girls around in July!!! xxxx
