Some pictures from the pond I’m trying to save (see other post and donate if you can). Here we have a pair of Egyptian geese, a pair of mallards, a robin and our three almost fully grown juvenile swans (feels wrong to call they cygnets now they’re so big!)

New telephone installed today in the office. The nice GPO engineer assured me it was the newest model also offered me a new Nokia mobile too!
