Martin P spent the morning starting on the plastering left from our recent refurbishments. He will complete the job the day after tomorrow.
On another cold, bright, afternoon we took a trip to Ferndene Farm Shop to stock up on vegetables, then continued into the forest.
Jackie parked alongside the high point of Braggers Lane. I wandered up and down photographing
sunlit landscapes;
woodland;
and cattle.
A pair of donkeys grazed in a field beyond Sopley Mill, where
Jackie photographed me photographing the pattern of rippling railings reflected in the millstream.
She also focussed on the sunset viewed from the church of St Michael and all Angels, and on starlings perched on the weather vane atop the spire.
This evening we dined on succulent roast pork with crisp crackling; apple sauce; boiled baby new potatoes stir-fried with leeks; crunchy carrots and cauliflower; firm Brussels sprouts, and tasty gravy, Jackie drank Hoegaarden while I drank more of the Cabernet Sauvignon.
