I'm off to Yateley to stay with Matty (Matthew my son) for a few days. Will be visiting the Moor Green reserve and my favorite goose at Yateley park.

Nothing planned here Babs, I'll have a couple of small but urgent jobs, but the weather will probably preclude any photography outings

not much planned either. got up at 6:15 this morning to drop my son and his family at manchester airport. they're off to malta. lucky devils, we went last easter and would most likely have gone this year but for easter being earlier. it's our grandsons 6th birthday while we would have been away so we decided against going. the departures drop off point was heaving... can't blame people for wanting to escape this cold weather. the wind was absolutely biting this morning. the drive to the airport was'nt pleasant either, blinding sun and the wind was buffeting my car all over the place.i texted them to see if they had got checked in o.k. my sons' fiance said she had had to taste the babys' milk and food at security... that stuff tastes pretty revolting... babies must like it though!!
my wifes working tomorrow but hopefully may get out for lunch on monday....if my bad back allows, it's giving me gyp at the moment,
anyway whatever you all do , happy easter.
p.s. as there are no easter bunnies on the smilie icons.....
.....pretend these are easter hamsters
