"white fluffy clouds in a cluster hanging on the breeze to dry"
it was certainly an option to get Out of Town and target a couple of Rare / Scarce Birds
with some beautiful scenary across Somerset and a few interesting birds en-route including
RED KITE
Farm-Steads
CORN BUNTING
in spring-like weather it had to be a drive to the
SOMERSET LEVELs
via a mist shrouded
GLASTONBURY TOR
and the 'Welcome Notice' with more common fare being first in line such as
REED BUNTING
IRRIGATION DITCHES
GREAT CRESTED GREBE

ReplyDeletewith Jack Hargreaves..A series about the countryside,
rural life and traditions...He lived nearby, and used to
drink with us in a couple of pubs...HeHe! We gave
him the nick~name..Smelly Jack....I'll say no more..! :)
His box sets, still available at about £140...!
I learned a particularly nice dish in one episode,
using the very large onion..Ailsa Craig..chop the
top off, scoop out most of the onion, insert a lambs
heart..fat and all..fill the rest of the onion with the
chopped onion, replace top, secure with tooth
picks..into a hot oven, for say 30mins...Enjoy!
