The Irish lady who writes children books is out walking her labrador. She stops to tell us that the fancy interior design store in town has been broken into. Some minor damage has been done and a pane of glass on the front door smashed. The Police arrived and found the burglar drunkenly asleep on an eau de Nile silk arm chair in the storeroom. Our Irish neighbour also says that the intruder knocked over a bowl that was the watery home of a nine year old goldfish called Harry. Sadly, the Police did not arrive in time to save Harry from an untimely death . How much of this is fact and how much embellishment will need to wait until the weekly paper is published and the full story unveiled.
Weather warnings have been issued. A severe Atlantic summer storm is expected tomorrow. Winds of 70 mph + are forecast. With the trees in full leaf the impact may be dire. The farmer and his team are working round the clock to get as much of the the harvest in before the storm arrives. This morning he was up at five getting the calves on the village green ready to be shipped across the country to a farm in Ayrshire. By seven they've all gone. Seeing the calves go is another sign that autumn is waiting in the wings.
The sea at the end of the track covered in gannets - tens of thousands of them. They breed on a rock outcrop further down the coast. Are they about to migrate ? :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WCh8alE8H8
