Very warm but sadly also very wet. Showery all day.
This morning Dom popped over with 7 year old Maddie and 2 year old Albert all mad keen on all things wildlife. Despite the weather we fed mice, watched activity in the pond from the hide camera and studied the fine detail of a dragonfly. With a mini museum at home they were pretty excited about the nymph I gave them in a magnified pot.
Amazing at the transformation in Albert after his recent liver transplant. Only a few months ago it was touch and go if the poor lad would survive then the chance of a transplant was offered. An amazing story, the family have been through on incredible journey but look at the lad now.
This afternoon enjoyed an indoor BBQ with Graham, Trish and the rest of the Mullen family. Shame it was so wet as it is another wonderful garden created to enjoy amongst wildlife. Graham has just the one camera covering the garden but with some great results. Only last night two hedgehogs fighting over a food bowl was recorded.
Good to catch up with Mark, not seen for a while, great to catch up on the Tornado and Flying Scotsman news. Ian, his brother has just finished another re-paint job on the Scotsman. While talking a message flashed up on Mark's phone about a steam train crash on the Hythe line after hitting a tractor this afternoon. Mark was saying the driver must be pretty traumatised as was the first week in the job. Reports coming through this afternoon suggested there were no life threatening casualties.
Shocked Mark a little as knew the driver very well.
