I had to take Jiffy to the vets again tonight, as he has a "poorly ear" ... the even worse news was that his favourite vet was on holiday!
The vets is at the bottom of the hill - and the trees at the top facing us is on Isumbard Kingdom Brunel's land - this was his retirement home that he was building, but died before it was finished.

Seems that you had a great day with the weather nice and sunny.

It was grey in the morning, but brightened up nicely!
