Yesterday got off to a bright and sunny start. Finished my studies early and did my carer's duties.

Coffee and muesli for breakfast in the back garden 
The next door 👱‍♀️ neighbour had gone out in her car 🚗 so we had the whole place to ourselves as the other neighbours work away so we were the only ones here on this row.

We listened to the beautiful bird 🕊🦅song and watched the various birds landing on the bird bath and feeding station. 🐦By sitting very still and quiet the birds did not even know we were there.

We had just finished eating breakfast when the HA gardening team arrived noisily, with the sit- on lawn mower which they have to use for our garden, because it has quite a large lawn. 🏠🚜
it is done by the team, because it's so large! We could never manage to do it by ourselves.

I moved the chairs and the little round table,  back onto the patio from the lawn, to let them have a clear space to drive around the lawn.
We then brought the cats 🐈🐈 into the porch out of the way to be safe and not impede the man on the mower. 🚜🏠
We decided to leave the gardeners to it and go into the village to do some shopping.

First I had to go to the bakery to buy 🍞🥖bread.
There we found a queue outside in the street, due to social distancing, then on to green grocers 🥕🍏and then to the newsagents where there is the post office.🏠not too busy in there today thank goodness.

 After this we took the footpath back past the field. As we followed the path, I really enjoyed looking at the large daisies, blue🦋 forget me nots and red poppies 🌺along the way. Cheerful birdsong was coming from the nearby trees.🌲🌳🌲🌳

In the next field we stopped to stroke the beautiful white🦄 horse and we gave him a carrot to munch, 🥕which he quickly chomped down in no time!
He then rewarded us by a lovely display of galloping and playful frolicking about in the field!

Continuing on our journey we came off the footpath called gypsy lane, that has a pretty meadow of wild flowers, and at the next exit we crossed into a little lane, which leads to a longfootpath running alongside the cemetry.

Then we just carried on walking slowly back down the road again, through the little short cut and back onto our street.

At last we arrived🏡 home, hot and exhausted but where we could cool down, use a fresh wet flannel, and sit in the lovely tidy back garden, in the shade beneath the cool evergreen trees and eat a delicious bowl of ice cold ice cream. 🍧🍧
