Walking around Hampstead Heath we came across an almost still pond with beautiful reflections. At the far end I could see logs mirrored in the water, looking like a gaping mouth.

1 A brief walk this afternoon down Lovers Lane and back up Chapel Walk and we found this lovely old cut-down tree trunk with moss. Looking up at the tree there was beautiful bark and a tangle of branches.

3 J and I spent a happy half hour watching the birds at the feeders in the back garden He can identify all of them! The highlight of the afternoon was a tiny wren who stayed around long enough to have its photo taken.

Usually all my beautiful things are from the day on which I post but we’ve just had a wonderful weekend away so today’s post covers Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
1 We had a trip up to Plymouth to see the amazing Jools Holland who just raises the spirits of all who are near him! He is so talented, so generous and clearly enjoys making so many people happy. He smiles his way through the whole performance! It was just fabulous to be able to watch his hands on the big screen. To my delight K T Tunstall was his surprise guest. His drummer, Gilson Lavis was just brilliant!We spent the night in a hotel and next day …….
2 We met two of our lovely daughters, M and L, for lunch in a country pub and then went home with L to her new home where the bird life is just amazing. It was very hard to get photos as they were all so busy going back and forth. There were Nuthatches, Blue tits, Willow tits, Great tits, Coal tits, Robins, Siskin, Chaffinches, Bullfinches, Pheasants and Jays.
3 A walk in the nearby woods this morning with L and T and T’s parents and their five Black Labradors was an utter delight.
