I am back to wearing slippers! For my Brazilian readers let me explain that slippers are a warm soft furry type of shoe used in England to wear in the home to keep your feet warm. Whereas in Brazil I always wear sandals and shorts here in England I wear jeans and slippers. I already had my slippers from 2022 when we were here last and I left them at Philip & Gylmara’s house.
We got up late yesterday at 11 am after our long journey. It is lovely to just relax with the family. We had brunch rather than breakfast and lunch. The brunch was bacon, eggs and hot bread rolls with HP sauce which we hadn’t tasted for 3 years. For Brazilians I should say that in England the main meal of the day is at night.
The climate here at present is very pleasant with a high of 22 degrees today and a low in the night of 7 degrees.
Yesterday afternoon we went to Thatcham Nature Reserve and enjoyed a lovely walk round the lake. We saw Wood Pigeons, Magpies, Collared Doves, Moorhens, Swans, Canadian Geese, Egyptian Geese, Little Egret, Coots, Mallards, Common Tern, Black-headed Gull, Northern Shoveler, Cormorant and Great Crested Grebe. The trees on the way to the Reserve were beautiful and the flowers there were lovely too.
