June 14th

In memoriam of my beloved husband, who died five years ago today.

 

And in memoriam of my dearest friend Anne, who died a year ago today.

Also remembering Big Dog and Madame Dog, who died during these five years.

We just went for a stroll, both morning and afternoon, remembering and giving thanks for the joy, the laughter, and the privilege of sharing their lives for their allotted time.

Sunday, June 13th

The morning was still summery, albeit rather fresh and overcast - but the forecast rain had not yet arrived.

Having left the house at 6.50 a.m., we went for the same walk as yesterday. The same 'Roman' raven came, this time from one of the big lime trees near the tree with the nest. 

He was very skittish again, but did pick up the couple of scraps I'd thrown for him.

In Pontcanna fields there were some crows, but no ravens where we walked - the same walk as yesterday, omitting the suspension bridge.

Instead we collected lots of different grasses and wild flowers.
