Damselflies and fish fry
Up fairly early for a Sunday, and Lorraine and I drove to Bolney. Another gorgeous day. We went into Lorraine's school, where she did several important jobs, and I watered the kids vegetable patch, and helped Lorraine laminate Be Smart Stay Apart sheets. Little rings two meters apart sprayed onto the playground to help with distancing while they enter the school too. Lorraine feeling a bit anxious to get everything right for the school opening tomorrow.
This done, we walked to the nearby woods, around the Mill Pond. Beautiful it was and rather tranquil. We were sitting by one pond and we saw a crow flying with a snake or slow worm in its mouth, something I had never seen before. The pond itself was gorgeous with carpets of lily pads, and shoals of fry near the edges of the pond along with azure damselflies, and dragonflies. All utterly idyllic, if you filter out the roar of the M23 in the background.
Then to Bolney garden centre, and we bought in a socially distanced way some pots and soil, and did a bit of gardening this afternoon. Lorraine and to write her assembly and other bits, I called Mum, poor Salty still AWOL which is very sad. Ben across the road's CCTV revealing nothing.
Below one of the signs we laminated today, the Mill Pond, fry, and Bolney Church and St.Mary Magdalene churchyard looking gorgeous and overrun by daisies.
