A quick look at a day in lockdown ...

for us here at Medmenham Meadow.
It's Friday (5th June) at 10 o'clock ... through the window ...
Adult Swallows are using the gunwales of Still Rockin' ...









to feed their chicks ... we watched them for ages and realised that they were using to roof too.  This went on for several days morning and evening.  Fascinating!


10:30 saw us on our daily walk.  We'd seen previously that a large Ash tree has come down and damaged this small building and today the tree was being removed
These rounds were about 3' across and 2' deep ... and far too heavy to keep on the top of a boat for winter fuel!

10:45 and we're walking back to the boat round the farmers field crop and can see our windbreak from here about ¼ mile away.

I really can't remember what we did for the rest of the day, but at a guess I'd say 'not a lot' apart from watching our world go by from the deck!
21:15 and very dramatic sky ... this from the meadow side ...
and this from the river side.
