Good afternoon, all. Turned out quite nice this afternoon.
We had a drive out in the car after lunch to the HQ of the Somerset & Dorset Animal Rescue charity at Balsam Farm on the outskirts of Wincanton. We had an ancient duvet to dispose of and their website said they accepted bedding donations.

Ossie stayed well clear ....
All the volunteers were out dogwalking, apparently. Anyway, donation gratefully received.
We also met our new neighbour for the first time, a very pleasant widowed lady in her late 50's, I'd guess, who moved in last Thursday. We had a short chat, and she seems to be settling in OK.
