Dear Vicki, I was waiting for someone to say something about the swans in a negative way and nobody has yet! Gardens are about nature and wildlife as well, or at least I believe they should be. Strangely enough before I could get the picture of the swans I had to go to the aid of a lady tourist who tried to coax one of the cygnets into the bank! Anyone who knows swans will tell you that is not a wise thing to do as the Penn or female can get a little upset with that, as like any mother thinking of danger to their young. Luckily I worked for the wildfowl trust and can handle swans no problem, but I managed to get the lady out of the way, and she luckily got away with it! But was sternly told off by one of the River Wardens, and after a quick lesson from him she came and thanked me. That is why the swans were swimming away from me and not face on!
So glad there were bits for you to enjoy!
Neil.
