between boats, pontoons

  6. Welcome visitors but a shame the wind stays out at sea! The willows are just about stirring . I think I’ll go down to the moorings this afternoon to see if we have any downy visitors!

    1. Thank you Kim, the wind was strong yesterday and the waves were quite choppy at sea for the cygnets when their parents guided them into the harbour for some shelter 🙂 Hope you will find some downy visitors by the moorings too! 🤗💖 xxx
