They have a lovely light but cosy feel to them.
Hope they like them.
My smile for the day was the view through my kitchen window.
I know it's not a good picture - I was zooming in to the scene over the far side of the field.
Five magpies were hopping all over this young bullock, pecking at its coat.
I have seen film of Ox-pecker birds in Africa doing this but never thought it happened over here.
The bullock sat patiently whilst the magpies pecked, presumably at ticks or flies on its fur.
(It was quite a shaggy young thing)
Eventually they pecked too hard and he stood up and shook them off!!
That's country life for you.
Join in with the Friday smiles over at Annie's "A stitch in time blog".
Happy weekend to you all.
