Revolutionary Rants

Yesterday Chicken and I went to Tesco, which meant cycling along the river. We went along to Sonning first, and then back along, over the canal to Tesco. After our shop we headed home, only to see a Mandarin duck [see picture]! I haven’t seen one of these since I was a child, when there was a pair that lived on a park pond in Chesterfield, and - that I can recall - never one at all in the wild. There are lots of interesting birds on the Thames near us - including lots of herons and cormorants - but this was the best sighting I have made since the last adder that slivered past!

We have had a nice relaxing weekend, with lots of cycling, and rather too many trips to Tesco (due to our blender braking mid-cook!).
