Also on our walk today. Was the village Manor. During WW2, US officers were accomodated and messed here. They were from the 313th Station Hospital. Based at the army camp nearby. Over 3000 US service men injured during D-Day were treated there.
Till this summer the Manor was a nursing home.

Good morniong Bluesky.
Heavy hail woke me at just after 4am. The noise of it pounding the roof was almost defening. Poor Max didn't know what to make of it.
Fingers crossed there's no more today.
Have a good day everybody

When I went to bed last night. The car was covered in ice. The sky was clear and I was expecting a heavy overnight frost. To my surprise, I wake up to it being overcast and raining.

This is mum's last rough collie Toby. Along with monkey. Who he carried around the garden each day, after dinner for 13 years.

Yesterday's sunny weather, has given way to steady rain. Thankfully I'm missing the worst of the weather that's forecast for the UK today.
Take care out there and have a great day.

Just finished putting up the tempory fencing to keep Max out of the borders during the winter.
He was spoilt for choice with all the windfalls. Just a question of which one to play with.

Max walked and shopping done. Hopefully today will be a better one. I spent yesterday afternoon, in A&E with an elderly neighbour. Who'd had a fall and needed to be checked over. Thankfully just bad bruising.
Have a great day everybody.

On Armistice Day I always think of my great grandfather.
To escape poverty. He lied about his age and joined the Royal Marines as a gunner. At aged 16 he took part in the Relief of Peking. He was recalled from naval reserve to serve in WW1 and was a warden in WW2.

It's my annual attempt at trying to grow a moustache as part of Movember.
Each year I'm reminded that
a. I struggle to get anything decent grow on my top lip.
b. How grey I've become.
More importantly, it's a reminder for all us chaps not to ignore our health.

It's a drab looking morning. The only up side is there's no sign of the heavy rain that was forecast. Now I've sai that. It'll probably start in the next hour!
