Ian joined us after lunch when Jackie and I bought provisions from Ferndene Farm Shop, where I
photographed their displays of bedding plants and cut flowers.
We then took a drive into the forest where daffodils enhance many verges.
Jackie caught me in her wing mirror returning from photographing a bank of them off Ringwood Road.
She also photographed a pheasant inspecting a log, while I focussed upon a group of fidgety rheas.
Flo has spent some time during the last two days raking up branches felled by recent storms and
piling them up at the end of the back drive.
This evening we dined on Becky’s succulent roast chicken; technicolour carrots; firm broccoli and tasty gravy; with Jackie’s crisp roast potatoes. Mrs Knight and Mr Steele both drank Côtes de Provence Rosé 2020; Becky and I both drank La Orphic Monastrell 2020.
