Dog food

This very tame fox is a frequent and very relaxed visitor. As you can see, he does get fed dog food, which probably has something to do with his attachment to the garden!

I stood a few metres away from him and took the picture, and he was totally relaxed.

Wasp's nest fragment

Chunk of wasp's nest from our loft. The whole thing was the size of a large watermelon. I love the regularity of the cells - amazing that it's all made of paper.

We had a big fall of snow in the night (in early April!), and the trees were all laden with snow.

Pewter

A pewter plate and cup at the Priest House, West Hoathly, West Sussex. The warm glow caused by the low light from the window reminded me of a Vermeer painting.
