Crisp morning air and blue skies again today heralded another sunny but chilly day in paradise.  These are fast becoming the best parts of the day. Closeted in my office there is no time for lingering outside but I do enjoy the time before the phone rings.  Time to release the chickens for their breakfast and take a mini wander around the kitchen garden.  The point of the day where the bassets and neighbouring cows bark and moo to and fro across the fence. I’ve always been a morning person and despite the wintry chill the recent mornings have been a total delight.  Beats the waking to the rain hammering on the veranda, dark clouds and gale winds we’ve had in recent weeks.
