Brunch & Burds

Saturday saw an easy start - we were invited to brunch with Martin & Joyce Campbell who are on the College staff. Martin stayed with us about 14 years ago and we loved meeting his wife and 3 great sons, one of whom gets baptised tomorrow. Les loved the waffles and pancakes with maple syrup while Fiona downed 4 mugs of great coffee. Food on campus is also delicious and the local eatery does oyster or scallop burgers as well as Pattie Suppers if you want them. There just aren't enough mealtimes to eat everywhere.


Well , while at brunch we watched these cute peedie fantails dancing round the garden, quite close up they don't seem to mind humans. We hear bird chirrup at first light (including a cockeral sadly) and today the cows were boglan to get shifted. They did get shifted and we were amused to see they were put in a field with jumps still set up from the gymkhana - we will let you know if the cows jump over the moon. And YES the moon is upside down and it is waning the wrong way!

  2. He is made of cheese, Sarah. Also we had a bird in our house today. It was Grey Wax-eye looking like someone we both know the morning after too much mascara.
