Before the Rain



Distant fields stood out early on in an unusual light to the east. This was before the day woke up to the fact it was the first of summer and hurried to bring on the drizzle and rain.




This dog rose is in an odd friendly cluster with a horse chestnut and a hawthorn near the Lenny Hill bench. The horse chestnut is believed to have seeded from one (unbaked) conker that fell out of a boy scout's pocket. History does not record whether there was a string attached.

The young robin inspecting us is proof that they are inquisitive from the moment they come into the world.
