...I Love It Here...

outside temp:  19c
sunny but breezy

I've just been 'miracle growing' the pots outside and while I was waiting for the watering can to fill from the water-butt in the back garden - I looked across the field to the rear of us
- the famer is growing peas this year -
and I smiled at the scarecrow waving his carrier bag at the birds

....mind you, he's doing absolutely nothing to stop them eating the lovely young pods!...

I closed my eyes and stood still for a moment and listened 

--  and all I heard were birds twittering,

chickens and the distance rumble of a tractor  --

Dave already has a tan! 

...he has that tell-tell white ring around his wrist where his watch sits and his arms and face have a lovely golden glow.... and summer hasn't even started yet, has it?

He says it's because he works outside everyday and is always in the sunshine

- which is true of course -

and if I got out of the office and into the  sun then I'd get a tan as well.

But I Told Him  --  I couldn't see why I can't get a tan inside  --
