To Kipligcotes for a short walk as the clouds thinned and the sun came out.
We parked by the starting post which has gained a small sculpture...
Before the addition it looked like this.
Kiplingcotes is the oldest horse race in the country,but the racecourse has "good to VERY firm" going...
There is a history of the race here.
All around we were taunted by yellowhammers, warblers, skylarks and others who remained tantalising out of reach of my camera. Eventually one snatched pic of a whitethroat...
I hope for better later on in the summer.

Back home and the sun came out and the poppies were so bright that they overloaded the camera with colour...
Yesterday's power-washing of the patio had made a lot of woodlouse families homeless and picking up the brush set them off again...
The swallows were being a bit elusive and I didn't want to interrupt nest building, so they will have to wait for a while.
