In my youth my idea of a ' Perfect Day ' would have been -
A round of golf in the morning followed by a day at the races [ Horse Racing ] -
I never achieved that despite living in Hertfordshire for 10 years .
Yesterday I went for a short walk with my family along the river by Kinloch in the South of Skye -
We were all sitting down in the sun next to this rather large pool when we heard the honking sound that geese make - I looked up thinking a goose was about to land - then the sound came again , this time it appeared to come from the ' island ' right in front of us , a bit of land that the river had cut off from the field we were in where small trees / shrubs were growing . I peered in but couldn't see any signs of a goose .
Then the noise came again ...Honk... Honk ..Honk..
We looked closely at the pool and saw a load of frogs or toads swimming about and doing things that frogs and toads do in springtime .
The ' Honking ' noise was being created by the Frogs / Toads .
It turned a simple walk into something a bit special and we all learned something new , then we went home and had a nice dinner [ Spiced Vegetable Crumble - Roast Potatoes - Green Beans and Carrots ] then watched a Netflix series recommended by our Daughter , ' Pieces Of Her ' starring the brilliant Toni Collette '
Hardly a Perfect Day but good enough for me .
What's your idea of a Perfect Day ?
