20 March 2011

Our first day in Adlington was unfortunately damp and cold. We spent a lot of time in the kitchen watching all the birds visiting the feeder: various tits and finches, a robin and a wren.

In the morning Nick, Graham, Emily and I went for a walk along the nearby canal and fed mainly geese and a lone male duck. Emily did well on her feet but eventually complained of being cold - it really was very chilly and the light rain didn't help.


Gail and Dave came up for the day and we had a late lunch then took a trip to Brookside and its miniature railway. Emily also enjoyed poking around the garden playhouses and inspecting the many toys and books that are obligatory in garden centres these days.
