Ducklings

The statues of the ducklings from the famous Robert McLoskey book

The statues are in Boston botanic gardens. The gardens are a wonderful splash colour (spring bulbs and blossom trees) right in the heart of the city.

Bishopston Valley

Cool northwest wind today so we took the path through Bishopston Valley down to Pwll Du for our swim. Dappled sunshine, running water, birds singing, and sheltered from the wind - perfect!
