We had a hot and dry spring, a summer with a wet spell and then hot again. I’ve been enjoying the hot weather tremendously, much more than in recent years for very personal reasons. The heat has come back last week and I took delight in the weather during the last week of my holidays. I took my bike out this afternoon and cycled down the road in the summer sun – when these guys stopped me short.
“Noooooo! Not yet!!”




The geese in the meadow are a stark reminder of summer’s end. These geese will be fattened up for another two months or three to be served either on as traditional goose at Martinmas or as Christmas dinner. Time waits for no one. Not for summer. Not for the geese. Not for me.

We have geese a-plenty at this time of year too. Not for the cooking-pot, but flying overhead in magnificent skeins.

We see them passing high up. I think they know not to come down here.

oh gosh. Made me laugh so hard. Creative! But yes..its that time again…. When we were up north we say them flying south, and now that I am home, I wait for them to arrive.

Well, these are non-flying geese. I wonder why they don’t escape, though 🤔

I thought they may have been a frightening attacking road block 😂

That would be much cleverer than those climate activists who glue themselves on the asphalt.

Or the activists who glued themselves to an expensive car dealership. They worked out that they weren’t going to go anywhere or do anything, so they closed up and went home. Apparently it was very cold overnight in a glass and concrete place stuck to cold metal cars 😂
