Out even earlier today, on my walk into our nearby countryside, and rewarded with a not-very-good shot of a deer.

By the time l had found the zoom button – and then looked for him through the viewfinder – he had bounded across the field and was gone.


Found a rabbit on the horizon washing his hind paw and said good morning to some fine looking cattle. Makes a change from sheep.


I leave these here – just to uplift you as yet another day – in our restricted lives – gets underway.


Let’s give thanks for the continuing good weather and for all those working on the front line – who don’t get much of a chance to relax and enjoy what’s around them.


Nice to have an instant response. Local historian and book publisher, Kirsten Elliott took to Twitter to say:
Thank you, Richard, I’m much enjoying your early morning walks!
