Defrosted this time.

It is so nice that she is willing to sniff them. And she tries to carry it even though it is a bit too big for her.

Everyting is new to Minnie.

Winter weather:

Frozen crow (it’ll be defrosted by the next day to get to know it more):

Here is some activites from Thursday.

Today’s walk was in Pamber Heath.  A piece of common land on the North Hampshire border.  The milky sunlight & the autumnal colours were lovely.  At 14 degrees centigrade the weather mild. 

With the clocks changing our chances of getting a good run in the forest are diminishing.  These walks are becoming fewer & are therefore a big treat.

It has been quite hot (at least for a Finn) so that I had a little break and went for a refreshing swim to my own pond.

This is captured by 8-year old girl (I cannot do any better).

The summer is progressing far too quickly.  The hay fields are ready to be cut.  We did our walk this morning at 6:30am beside the river & the golf club.  The golf club has stated to do special offers for those who use it prior to 7:30am and after 4:30pm so we were not alone. J

Finley has been running away recently while we have been walking.  He is going through his teenage months & is wilful.  This morning I received a

round of applause from a group of golfers when I managed to call him back before he jumped all over them (he was wet & filthy).  I was so pleased he came back I was cheering as though we had won the world cup.   

The photos are of Baxter & Finley playing in the hay fields & swimming, more swimming & more swimming after that.
