Today started off with warm, sunny weather with a light wind which made it perfect for a pre work walk. You may be asking why this blog is called ‘A Sunday Travel Day’ it is because the last few days of weather have meant that the boat has been unable to come on the normal scheduled days so staff and visitors have all had to adapt to the changing weather.
Landing Bay by Eleanor
Stepping out of the door it was noticeable that the temperature was dropping a few degrees, a change from the hot heatwave of a few weeks ago. Walking towards Millcombe the birds were out in force with lots of juveniles lurking in the bushes. The Upper East path was alive with birdsong making it rather peaceful with Swallows passing, Starlings and young hunkering in the bushes and Meadow Pipits surrounding the area. It was great to be out on such a beautiful morning and enjoy some much needed sunshine after a few days of rain, but this was much needed for the island which is starting to look increasingly dry.
Dexter Cows by Eleanor
On my way back to the village I bumped into the Dexter cattle which were looking rather pleased with themselves! It was great to see the herd looking happy after a successful vet visit yesterday. I made it back to the village in time to have our usual ‘toast break’ with Thomas before heading out to complete a day of houskeeping. Before starting work I managed to complete a few tasks, getting rather distracted by the view before heading to work.
