🕊🕊🕊🕊 Today is not a study day, it is a holiday, but I am reading to keep on practising my language.
It is a warm sunny Sunday afternoon and very peaceful in my sleepy neighbourhood . In the distance can be heard the occasional bleating of sheep in the field that is close to the village.Â
A dog barks somewhere in the street, the cats are sleeping in the garden. Nothing much is happening right now which is great, so plenty of peace and quiet. The church clock chimes the hour, a solitary car rumbles slowly by and a collared dove coos in the nearby tree.
I am sitting on the deck chair in the garden, from here I can smell the perfume of the nearby roses on the rose bush in my garden and I can the smell the scent of freshly cut grass from this morning. A bee softly hums nearby.
At the moment I am readng a very good book about a woman who likes to travel. I enjoy the book and feel like I am travelling too without actually having all the hassle of leaving home!
When it is slightly cooler later on, we walk up to the park for a little exercise before dinner. When we did finally arrive at the park, there are absolutely hundreds of sea gulls everywhere !
Pretty soon the whole park's field is filled up with sea gulls!
So many sea gulls!
What are they doing here? Where have they come from?
The sea side is about 10-15 miles away. Why have these sea gulls come inland?
They seem to be just sitting, resting, or sunbathing, on the green field. We sit at the picnic bench, and eat an ice cream as we enjoy observing this spectacular show of the sea gulls!
Sunday in the Park
