I've not had one of my imaginary band-name blog titles for a while and don't think this one is any worse than say Florence and the Machine. Stef and I spent the weekend in Devon with Stef's family. We planned to try an early morning run but it didn't happen. We did manage to eat some rather excellent food courtesy of Stef's folks, including a full English yesterday followed by a roast beef dinner complete with crumble and custard and then birthday cake in the afternoon (it was Stef's mums birthday)
Yesterday, we also went out for 30 or 40minutes bird watching at the 'old hide' on the Axe estuary and we were lucky enough to see stonechat (a smart-looking male, sat of the fence on the way to the hide), little egret, shell duck, teal, wigeon, dunlin, lapwing, curlew, redshank and black-tail godwits plus one bruiser of a great black back gull. I'm not sure who was more excited about the snipe: Stef who spotted it, or the chatty local birder with the telescope who'd overlooked it?
