The jobs can wait until this evening where I can play catch up . My favourite field has been drilled , flat as a pancake with nice smoothed out soil , seems almost criminal to dig a spade into it let alone walk upon it . High hopes were soon dashed as yet again it seemed it was going to be a button day as one after another came in quick succession . A few blobs of lead broke up the monotony and then a well earned thimble , slightly squashed seemed to be the highlight of the afternoon so far .
It mattered not though , it was just pleasant be back out in the warmth and fresh air and so much had changed since my last visit just a few days back . The field was now walled in pure white blossom , as the hedgerows had now had a growth spurt and it looked pretty spectacular , no birds today though not even the buzzards put on a show so I was left to contend with the field on my own .
Two hours had passed and not a lot was showing and after yet another button I decided to call it a day , at least it had been a refreshing walk and I decided to make my way back to the car and perhaps return over the weekend . Still swinging the machine in a half hearted manner I hit a signal and it was a good one but sadly and in an almost cruel twist of fate it was another ring pull , they sound so sweet . Oh well , I just had to put this venture down to just one of those days .
The game changer was the next signal literally a yard or so away from the ring pull , again I dug with a less than enthusiastic approach , it sounded like just another button . It wasnt , and I had lean back and take a deep breath , finally the dismal day took on a new meaning , just when you think its game over something comes along and lifts your spirits . I checked the hole and circled around just in case of any more but that was more wishful thinking .
The one coin made my day
