Circle of life

Well I had absolutely no intention of taking another water fowl shot but what is a girl supposed to do? This is the third swan's nest I've had my eye on. It is along the river at Horningses and went we went past on the way out she was asleep so I ignored it but coming back she was standing up and stretching her legs and two cygnets were cuddling up to her. I'm guessing she has more eggs still to hatch.
Four good things:
1. Babies
2. Lots of new wildflowers on the riverbank.
3. I roped in my friend for assistance with the final dress choice - she agreed with the boys and so did both her daughters and Rachel via Whatsapp - so decision made!
4. Nice night out with @lucypics and Paul Hollywood. Feeling inspired about multi seed loaves now! Next time we'll park in a different car park - 30 min queuing for a ticket machine.
Why are home made loaves so inspiring.....I think it's definitely the seeds & grains do it! Sounds a great night but was it as fun as they say?
Very sweet babies...lovely pale grey colour....swans are such perfect parents.
Hope we will see this outfit one day Judith!

So sweet - definitely not ugly ducklings. What did you think of Paul Hollywood? I'm glad I read your comment because it reminded me that I have tickets myself. I just ran off to check I hadn't missed it, but it's for next weekend.
