Summer is here...?

The weather has finally become more June-like after endless weeks of crap. That's the good news. The bad news is that the crap is predicted to return by Thursday. Deep joy. The BBC website, anxious to avoid allowing Joe and Jane Public to comment on important issues, asked what people's names were for 'raining'. Not surprisingly, 'pissing down' appeared most often...

Being out and about today, all over the place, produced these (click for largest) -

Looks almost Mediterranean - we wish...

A bad photo of a Hobby - but what a great year tick! Everyone needs to have a hobby, right?

Meanwhile, back at home, here's 'our' Blackbird. He's probably one of quite a few male Blackbirds in the vicinity but we still call him 'Mr. B'.



By the way, I did pay the visiting Great White Egret a visit. Unfortunately, he was too far off for a good photo and I only got a long-distance crap record shot, which isn't worth wasting my time processing so, instead, here's a photo from last year, taken at Blashford Lakes, near Ringwood.
