Florida

 I am staying with a friend in Wellington, Florida for a few days. A. and N. live on a gated estate where every house has a view of a lake. Early the next morning we went for a 4 mile walk around the site. It was still dark as we set off so there were many water birds around - ibis,heron ,cormerant to name but a few. The estate is immaculate and well manicured. It was also very quiet. I expected to see lots of people out and about but noI saw very few. Later that morning A took me to the South Florida Fair.  We saw a magic show which was all spectacle but little skill. Avery good band playing sixties music and a new one on me - pig racing.
