Tilly and I had a lovely peaceful walk after we'd dropped Rowdy off at the vet's for his little op. I think Tilly enjoyed sniffing around without being pounced on every couple of minutes. The Welcome swallow chick waited very patiently on the post for it's parent to come and feed it... and I waited equally patiently with camera in hand for the parent to come and feed it!
(No decent photos taken on the 9th so using this collage to fill the gap.)
