Another brilliant sunrise. The peas have been harvested so we have an uninterrupted nights sleep without being woken at 3:30.
By six thirty the combines are back in action. For most folks that would be an early start but for the local farmers it's a long lie in. This morning they've started on harvesting the wheat field that lies between us and the sea. A flock of sixty or so squawking geese arrive and search the stubble for breakfast. We can feel the change in air pressure as they fly low overhead. Rain is forecast for this afternoon so I'm betting the harvesting will be done by noon.
In the paddock by the 'T' junction some new village residents wander over to greet us. Through the bars of the gate their mothers maintain a watchful eye on the little ones. The happy routines of the seasons are stamped heavy on the routines of this place.
We are also joined on the morning walk by the 'puppy'. 'Puppy' seems to have a limitless amount of energy and is completely devoid of fear.
More and more 'youngsters' arriving for the new semester. The latest in London and LA fashions mixing among the tweeds and corduroys of the townsfolk. Between the golf tournament and parents dropping off their children getting a restaurant booking in town is impossible. Blue and yellow flags in many of the students windows. A year and a half into the war and support among the twenty somethings remains as strong as ever . Today is Ukraines National Day. Here is some suitable music :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaOChwNPg5o

'Puppy' seems to have many traits in common with Nobby at the same age.
The puppy is adorable. She seems to have adopted you.
'Puppy' clearly knows dog people when she meets them.
As a terrier lover, owner, servant, I'd be so happy to have "puppy" come visit for breakfast and perhaps stay for lunch, dinner, and bedtime treat...

Did the farmer's wife not give you the names of the JRs? Puppy needs a proper ID!
Thanks for the lovely song... YAM xx
I was thinking, the harvesting is starting early, while the weather is dry. I remember the last time I walked through a fresh cut wheat field, in Normandy. The straw has a particular crunch when it is fresh.
Beautiful sunrise, beautiful blue skies, beautiful day!
Such a sweetheart of a darling puppy.
The pup is adorable, and has definitely adopted you as walking companions.
Fabulous skies in the first two photos. Such a change from our heat-laden white.
Glimpses of your glorious skies are most welcome and Puppy is certainly a little charmer. We've begun day 7 of no power due to our wildfires and 0 containment. This will eventually pass. There is wonderful community support.
What a beautiful day! and so nice to have the companionship of a wee walking buddy without the responsibilities of actually 'owning' a puppy! She is very cute. Any word on the roof louvers?
I am falling in love with Puppy. Having a neighbour with a visiting puppy is ideal.
Darling puppy. Looks like she’s already made your house a stop on her daily rounds. Very sweet. You’ll soon look forward to her popping in for a snack or a bit of attention. We’d love to know her name.
Angus the first photo is glorious! Yes, Puppy needs a name!!!
Stephanie: I am thinking of everyone on the west coast of the US, and beyond.
Thank you.
Uh oh, Is puppy ramping up the charm offensive?
We, too, are thinking of the West Coasts american and canadian.
