Saturday 12th March (A Spring Day to Enjoy)

Mr. Kite looked out of his bedroom window to the sunlight peeping over the tree tops. The sky was blue and the 'Spring Chorus' was a gentle rehearsal prior to the developing repertoire that will gradually emerge. Mr. Kite had breakfast watching two fine Magpies hopping around the neat green grass pecking at food on the ground.

Later Mr. Kite sat outside The Joint watching Wood Pigeons, Rooks and Chaffinch enjoying a warm spring day. Later Mr. Kite and His Lady had a stroll along the babbling brook where yellow Primroses were in bloom on the grassy banks and the smell of Ramsons wafted in the air. Mr. Kite has something in common with Brown Bears and Wild Boar; that is he likes eating Wild Garlic. Of course bears and boars will root out the bulb and eat the leaves whereas Mr. Kite slices them finely into a salad or makes a delicate soup. Today Mr. Kite left the leaves growing for the bears and boars of Bath. Being a visitor to the area Mr. Kite considered that it would be taking a liberty to eat their luscious leaves.

Returning along the brook Mr. Kite saw a Grey Wagtail. With it's slaty-grey top and yellow rump and long wagging tail this bird added extra beauty to the tranquil scene. Having left the 'bears garlic' Mr. Kite returned to The Joint for a Red Rice Risotto and a tipple of Becks. Cheers from a grinning Mr. Kite.
