Misty Morning

Foggy start to chilly mornings this week, the wind has dropped completely for the last few days so it’s the sun that’s been lifting the mist from the vale. Cycle from Pamphill to Sturminster Marshall for coffee, tyre a bit soft at the front so must have a slow puncture. The donkeys chased each other around the paddock late afternoon and then had to come back to the stable for a drink, William stood on the mud mats for a couple of minutes, sizing them up. A sunny warm day, the hedging could do with some rain, may have to water tomorrow.

Cycle Paddle

From Pamphill, a twelve mile round trip on quiet lanes and dry tracks until the last mile or so when the muddy path turned into a foot deep puddle that lasted longer than expected. Walking turned out to be the only option, waterproof shoes are great until submerged! As Jenny was cycling behind me she suffered the same result, a cold and gloopy walk. Collected hay and straw bales and groomed the donkeys who were content to doze most of the day. Fencing work in the field opposite continues. A misty day with a chill wind, noticeably lighter in the mornings.
