I love it when the sun makes a silver horizon.
On our way home from the sea visit, we called at the garden centre to get some more tulip bulbs. Hanging in the middle of the displays was an open cage with a jackdaw sitting and preening itself. We watched it for quite some time and it kept its eye on us all the time. We asked in the shop about why it was there and learned that it was found in the Spring having fallen from its nest and with no parent anywhere showing any interest. The staff looked after it and expected it not to survive but here it is, their friendly Jack Dawson! It pops down the road to the local pub in the evenings and spends its days in the garden centre.
Last Tuesday at Roots there were quince on offer having been brought in by a volunteer form a crop laden tree. This afternoon I have made Quince Jelly, beautifully scented and what a glorious colour. I also reduced some of the jelly further to make a tray of Membrillo, lovely little cubes to eat with cheese.
