FENLAND FLATS

Well hello to everyone after a long spell away from blogworld. Here is so different from my home hills and valleys. The Fens seem so pancake flat in comparison to my homeland.

But thank goodness for the exceptionally mild weather we're having ... not a hint of snow, like so much of U.K we did have our fair share of gale force winds that has sadly blown down a lot of old trees and scattered all sorts of loose objects all over places they shouldn't be. But ... some of the red morning dawnings and sunsets have been quite spectacular.

One of the lovely things has been the amount of things still in bloom that shouldn't oughta be and the amazing number of crab apple trees heavily decorated with crimson plump fruits. In the garden here, roses, violets, oxlips & snowdrops in bloom and much more.
One of the problems has been that this is not my computer and works so very differently from my one at home which has a much easier "eejit friendly" set up. I still have yet to work out how to edit the photo's that I've taken into a format than can easily go on to the blog ... so just a few fully pixelated ones and no they haven't been in the drinks cupboard!
Not being very pooter proficient it may take a while to get photographers images on here.
But I have been cuddling wild buffalo ... I kid ye not! Two of which have just calved. Bet that keeps you waiting in suspense! Me too ... have yet to go and see the new additions.
The best news is that Dad has had his best day for a long while, has even pottered around the garden just to see what is in bloom on what has been an amazingly mild January day.
Also on the Nature Reserve where the buffalo roam ... a mix of sheep. Just to make me feel more at home in arable fen-flat country, here's the best one yet. More will appear soon ...

Spot the "prop forward" Texel !! Trouble is ... he's on the English side.

So to all you folks out there who have mebes missed Dafads posts. I'm still exploring!!!
