I love this period of architecture and design - we live in a house from this period in Australia so I am intrigued to see arts and craft homes from this period in other countries. Best wishes for a lovely week.

He behaved much like these two and more or less ignored me even though I was in the same field as him. I was so cross with myself for going out without a camera or even a phone. It rather served me right because my husband is always reminding me to pick up my phone, and I seldom do. <br />Harry is quite regal in his bearing and I love the duckrobatics! <br />Happy trails and thanks for sharing all these wonderful photographs, your post made my day. <br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-79257230219184521132017-05-22T11:45:35.381-04:002017-05-22T11:45:35.381-04:00Sitting at work and a quick browse of your walk th...Sitting at work and a quick browse of your walk this morning was delightful...I could almost feel the sun on my skin and smell all the greenery...lovely.

A gal who was there taking pictures told me that the geese protect it.

Except I haven't yet seen any baby ducks this year. Either they're all being snatched by baby duck snatchers, or they just haven't hatched. It's a mystery. On the other hand, the big boy and girl ducks still are getting it on, so maybe they've been having to much fun to settle down and raise families!shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-83963418073991645532017-05-21T16:05:18.957-04:002017-05-21T16:05:18.957-04:00OMG Jeanie!
