Walking

I've been trying to get out for a walk more recently, especially since the weather has been halfway decent. There are some cherry trees in bloom down by the river.

I've also planted some shiso seeds, although nothing showing yet. 

Went to the shops to get a birthday card, and found a rather optimistic one (I don't think people live to 999 even here).

And you may want to spellcheck before you embroider (courtesy of Butlers).

We went out to a barbeque by the river with Mr Yamaguchi and Hiro Takahashi (the Japanese baker) where himself picked up this beauty. We thought it was dead at first, but it roused and eventually flew off.

Another little creature seen out walking, on the other side of the river on the hill with the church on the top.

A sweet window display at the local craft shop.

We also went to see a property in Horgen, where the mild, rainy day made it feel almost like autumn. Lots of lovely buildings.

And last weekend we took advantage of the good weather to go up to the Wildpark, and made it into a part of the park we'd never been in before. That meant we got to see the Przewalski's horses, including a cute foal who was so sleepy he passed out leaning on his nose. The enclosures were full of Christmas trees for some reason.
