The Meadow


Today's property visit was a converted barn in a huge meadow. Modern throughout, very nicely done, and still under construction (ugh). Harry was over-the-moon about the WWII pillbox in the backyard (back field?). It was also over budget. But we would have considered it until I bothered to ask if it would be available for three years. Apparently the owner wants to move in in 18 months. Oy! Might have mentioned that, people!

Paul had his first day of work today. I took the kids out to explore and we had a Lot of fun feeding the ducks and battling one very big swan, who snatched a piece of bread out of charlotte's hand. "He is not my friend!" She announced between sobs.

Gotta watch swans--they can get aggressive!

I'm loving all your updates! Thanks for keeping us posted. Tell Charlotte swans aren't worth being friends with anyway : )

He was easily three feet tall and was tossing the duckies out of his way to get to the bread. no storybook character, this one.
