Teasel heads
No, not driving the electric scooter. I had several moments in that again, including a repeat of the track crossing where I came close to running off the path. It swoops down whilst slanting off to one side and switching angles all at the same time. I probably should take a photo to explain, but I may just stop going that way. Mostly it was OK though and I am getting better at driving it.
Greylag Geese on a grey day
As I stepped outside this morning I noticed something brown and furry on the driveway, disappearing behind the car. I followed, with a sense of rattish foreboding, then looked in amazement as a rabbit hopped out of cover, through the gap in the boundary vegetation (to call it a hedge would be boastful and inaccurate), across a path and onto the grass strip between us and the woodland strip. It’s the first time I’ve ever had a rabbit in the garden.

The day was cold and gloomy, made more cutting by the brisk wind coming off the cold body of water.
I really need to dress better for using the scooter, including finding my gloves. I have several different pairs, but seem unable to find any at the moment. I suppose I will be looking for things for months, or years, to come. That’s the problem with moving in a haphazard fashion. It’s also part of the fun. I have rediscovered so many things in the move, including some I didn’t know I had. In the end I stopped taking photos because of the difficulty in operating the camera with no feeling in my hands.
Cormorant on a buoy
That’s about it for now. I’m going to go and sort some of the stuff we brought from Nottingham this week. The problem is that we have been bringing stuff up without sorting it, so we can get the house cleared out, but we are falling behind with the sorting at this end and the bungalow is in danger of becoming cluttered. That is precisely what we don’t want.
Teasel – me being arty

A good arty teasel. Find your gloves! We need more arty photographs.
🙂 Thank you.
I hear the scooters take some getting used to, but the extra mobility for you will be worth the learning curve. Good luck with the decluttering. Discovering things one didn’t know they had can be fun! 🙂
I will have to use the scooter more regularly and I am sure I will eventually learn to use it better, including avoiding tricky cambers and the like.
I have decluttering ideas if you need…🤪
That’s very kind. I will get back to you about that . . . 🙂
😉
I hope you will avoid clutter. With your scooter and my poles we will both soon be a dashing menace to other travellers soon
I saw a lady with polesm yesterday -the word “washbuckling” came to mind. 🙂
Good luck with the sorting. What a job! And it’s great you are getting out and about on your scooter.
🙂 It will all be worth it in the end.
A Rabbit, Teasels and a one legged heron. Well done.
It’s good to beb getting out again. 🙂
