It has been a beautiful breezy and sunny day made all the more special by a visit from Vytas. He was on his way to his annual karate club camp which takes place only a few miles from here. He takes his karate seriously and it does help to keep all 6ft something of him fit. He doesn't have any plans to pop over for the rest of the week because it is supposed to be like a retreat where they can immerse themselves in karate including meditation. ( I said he takes it seriously.) But he and his new girlfriend will be down to visit in a few weeks. That's something to look forward to.
He got to meet Speedy who enjoys a little tussle though he is not encouraged to use his teeth on us for while being cute in a kitten it is not so cute when an adult cat still tries to sink its fangs into you. (Am I referring to Sherlock?) Speedy had another group of visitors earlier in the day when Jack came round with a coterie of 4 girls to see the new kitty. He also brought the news that the hound puppy has been returned to the hunt kennels in disgrace after killing one of the ducks. Ooops.
Peter had been out rowing but returned in time to see Vytas. He also mentioned that there was a heron in the field so I ran up and managed to get a few pictures.

That heron is a beauty and if all looks so green, lush, sunny and lovely. I'm not able to come over in August now alas, but winters not being too bad. My folks are coming over for Christmas (it will be their first in the southern hemisphere!). Hope you all are keeping well x
Sorry you can't get over this summer but it will be lovely for your parents to visit in the 'summer'. Vytas and his girlfriend are planning to go and work in Australia once he has completed his physics PhD in 6 months time. All I have to do now is persuade them NZ is much better, that they want to live there for ever and then they can sponsor us. It might even work.
