Pond

Yesterday's walk to Osborne's Pond was as productive as usual.  The ducks and geese were fighting for the few scraps of bread still laying around after a bread-bag-induced feeding frenzy. The 'pond' itself was looking delightful.

I couldn't resist taking more photos of the spectacular Rhododendrons on Shipley Hill.  This one was not only gorgeous to look at, but unusually, had a sweet scent too.

We had intended to have a look at the Azaleas and Rhododendrons on the sight of the old hall, but just as we got there, a large and extremely noisy bunch of school kids arrived with a couple of 'teachers' (actually, a couple of air-heads, barely any older and certainly no more intelligent than the kids they were supposed to be in charge of), so we avoided that like the plague!
