A lovely day, despite the weather - brilliant people and such a great community. Where else would you get a cider stall trading a few bottles (which we gleefully consumed) in exchange for a 'have a go' on the archery - hic?!

Old Basing Village Carnival
I know, I said I was cutting back a bit but just wanted you to share yesterday - but put your waterproofs and warm clothes on first - such a shame about the foul weather but we still had a fun time!
A lovely Hampshire Shire horse, pausing for a rest - and it also left (err) plenty of 'rose manure'.
A tiny little American Kestrel, absolutely no weight to it at all - huge happy eyes and apparently as tame as can be in the home and loves watching TV on the owners' shoulders!
Having a little stretch of the wings as these birds just love to 'hover' - see, no need for even a glove :)
Archery - the 'chaps' looking for overshot arrows in the undergrowth!
I just like this as it shows all the lovely colours of the 'fletchings' - feathers in 'old speak'.

Too bad the weather was not it's best! Looks like a fun time. That little kestral is fab...amazing that you don't need a leather glove to protect the hand and arm!
ReplyDeleteLoved the few bottles and archery the best! Maybe you did too!
Fantastic pics, looks like you had fun :) Cathy x

Looks like a fab day Di, shame about the lack of sunshine, it's been pretty chilly too! Great photos though, I love the kestrel shots he's/ she's a star!! TFS Gay x
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame about the weather , the kestrel is adorable. And I was hoping to see green tights too!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry the weather was bust, but it looks and sounds like you didn't let it keep you from having a fantastic time, Di! Thank you, especially, for sharing the photos of the Kestrel!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day out Miss.
ReplyDeleteNow then. I am not shovelling out for Mrs A's shire horse nor Sandra's Kestrel. I have enough s**t to contend with housekeeping for the Girls and my day job!
However, let me have a go on those bows and arrows please! I was good at that and javelin when I were a lass!
Hugs

PS I am also good with a shotgun! My neighbour is afraid to come up our lane when he hears mine going off! I have a particular aim if you know what I mean!

Ooh a shire horse in the playground! Now there's a thought. Love that little kestral and I would love to have a go at archery, really would. Quite agree with your views on blogging every day, or making something every day, it becomes too much. I had a 10 day break in between posts and missed woyww last week. Just had too much going on, and Darnell is sooo right, definitely LITS.
