A mindful moment
Had a wander on a rather misty day to the nearby Aberdeenshire coast, a short video with sound.

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Been fishing, didn't catch anything, but another step in my recovery, though I have more surgery pending, will be glad when they fix me though.

Re: Been bird watching again
Thanks, it's getting a decent day to be outside, can't get this gear wet, so hid in a bird hide for a couple of hours, hoping for a Beaver or an Osprey and neither showed up, oh well, that's nature filming.

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Raining up here too today. I gave up trying to grow rhubub in my thin coastal sandy soil, I used to make wine with it years ago, made a lovely Rose type too, it has adverse effects on my joints now, arthritis setting in so I don't eat it now.

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Frost overnight still restricting outside activity up here, only 2 degrees inside the greenhouse, not very Spring like.
