Social Media Day: Welcome To The Weekend Blog Hop.
Happy Friday😃
Welcome to this weeks, The Weekend Blog Hop. How has your week been so far?
Busy here with both Sons leaving Uni this week and bring stuff home. They have soon collected more than they went with. There is stuff everywhere at the minute. Not for long though, one son gets the keys to his new house today and another one could get a placement and leave anytime.
Social Media Day: Welcome To The Weekend Blog Hop:
Today is also Social Media Day. #socialmediaday
I love social media when I have plenty of time, my favourite platform being Twitter, what is your favourite social media channel?
Today I am sharing some calming photos from a walk around the park.
We love to get out and about around the parks if we can and away from all the busy town centres.
So relaxing here and peaceful.
No bathing, not sure I would want to anyway, ha!!
Although I did shed a little tear here…
I was just telling my husband how lovely it was and he said come on I will show you where the swans were nesting.
As we got to the spot where you can usually see the swans nesting from the bridge, the swans were gone.
Strange my husband said, they never usually leave their eggs.
We hurried across the bridge and a woman stopped us and said,
They have gone, haven’t they!?
What? Not realising what she was saying at first.
Somebody had taken the swans eggs.
They were their last night but someone took then late last night as by this morning they had disappeared.
As we walked to the other side of the lake, we saw the only two swans on the park with their head I the back looking all sad.
Does Swan’s have feelings I said?
I remember the story of the swan dying from a broken heart in the papers a few years ago and that was sad enough.
Them I just tried to hide my tears as the emotions caught up with me.
My youngest kids thought Mum was so funny crying in the park over a Swan she had never seen before and only hear a story of in the park, but I think it the caring and Mum side of me coming out…
Now all I am going to get when we go to this park is, Can you remember when we came here and Mum cried!?
I might pretend to tough on the outside but some things really make me show my emotions.

Oh that is a sad story, Claire! Did a person take the swan eggs or a predatory animal, I wonder. Sad either way. But your photos are beautiful as usual. Instagram is my favorite social media platform. I can't quite understand Twitter all that well. And I am just getting the hang of Facebook for business purposes. Thanks for the link up and have a great weekend. Shelbee

Hi, love the pictures you took. It looks so peaceful there I am so sorry to hear about the eggs. How dare someone take their eggs, how would they have liked it if someone stole their babies?I am new to the hop, I hope to see more of everyone!

Beautiful images and very sad that someone would just take the swan's eggs. I would have broken into tears as well, it's so heartbreaking. I'm new here and am happy to join a new community. Have a wonderful weekend.

Thank you for sharing your story although it was a sad one. We had a mama duck lay eggs in our yard in the bushes, she sat on them for about 2 weeks and then SHE disappeared and never came back- The eggs sat but never hatched. We finally disposed of them after about a month.. so sad too
Author
Aww, so sad 🙁
Poor swan! So sad since they mate for life. I think FB and instagram are my favs!
