Appleby on a Sunny-Chilly April Morning


The River Eden was looking splendid this morning. Although the temperature was a good 10-15 degrees down on last week's premature arrival of Summer the day was bright, the sky was clear and it was great to be able to walk along the river bank.

I wasn't out long. Lunch and a return to the computer screen called, but I couldn't resist stopping to take the following pictures.


The foal looked to me to be no more than a few days old and was drawing attention from just about everyone who passed. Then after a good feed, crash - a lunchtime nap.


What a privilege to be able to live in such a beautiful place as Appleby.
