A FINE DAY OUT:

It has been raining every day with the exception of last Thursday which was a warm and sunny day. Eva phoned in the morning and suggested we went out for lunch, and visit the place where we had seen a few deer. I was eager to return to see if there were more there, and the thought of eating out was very appealing, so within a half hour we were ready and set off for our deer destination. When we arrived we were both disappointed that even though there were more deer, they were far away and spread out over a large area which made taking photos difficult, and we were also shooting into the sun. Some of the does which looked little more than fawns were pregnant with rounded bellies and to me looked far too young to be expectant. 

Needless to say I was thrilled to be watching and photographing the deer.

Goodbye deer, now on to lunch

Shaded part of pátio and ice cream counter. It was early for lunch, we were the first customers. The restaurant is situated in a forested area, ideal for nature walks.

We sat in the sun, and whilst we ordered and waited for lunch, ordered drinks .

We were surrounded by beautiful plants and on one side huge boulders.

On the other side of the pateou was the entrance to the hiking trail.

A closer shot.

We were surrounded by these pretty plants, Vinca I think.

Whilst we were enjoying lunch we could hear the familiar noise of a chainsaw, so we decided to go for a walk after we had finished eating our delicious lunch, finishing with two large slices of coconut cake, We finished drinking our wine and had a coffee which was excellent then went in search of the noise we had heard..

We followed the direction of the chainsaw noise and soon saw the men cutting the huge tree trunk. 

We were told that the tree had fallen during the stormy weather.

We watched for a while and saw the second portion sawed through. It took the man a long time to reach the bottom of the tree trunk, I kept wishing that the man on the right would move his hand away! 

At four pm we had to go to the clinic for another change of dressing and afterwards the nurse said it would be the last time as the open wound had finally closed, and all I had to do was put Betadine antiseptic lotion morning and night for a week and then some cream to moisturise the skin. Hurray!
