Audley End and Rye Meads..... hither and thither

A relaxed pottering day..

Outside Pete's house this morning... the local robin sang..

I paid a short visit to Rye Meads House.. not open today

and had a short walk along the canal..

When I arrived at Rye Meads, the Water Buffalo were being fed..

Very quite in terms of birds, only a Green Sandpiper of note.

and this afternoon, we went over to Audley End... just in time to watch some training of horse and rider.

and then a wander around the gardens.

Quite warm in the sun for a December day... nice... :)
