This evening Mum, Dad and me finally remembered to take the camera to the lakes with us. So this is the very sandy path … nice to do a lot of scratching and occasionally digging in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This leads us past a couple of lakes into the area for water sports, though today it was pretty quiet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From here we trek along the shore through the long grass.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mum is a right ‘slowcoach’ because she keeps on stopping and taking pictures of pretty flowers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Lakes … and birds and stuff.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Quite a lot of the lakes are securely fenced in so the birds can breed in peace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

… which is good because it means I can’t get into trouble chasing them (Molly \ud83d\ude42 ).<\/p>\n

Come on, Mum! Let’s go! The willow plantation is just around the corner …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I really love this bit, it’s full of wildlife. And just after this photo was taken a hare jumped out in front of me and I just had to chase it……..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

…………………………………………………………………………………………………..<\/p>\n

………………………………………………………….<\/p>\n

Right, I’m back! Didn’t catch it but the chase was glorious fun.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We walk right round the willows which has another smaller lake within it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then it’s off through the hedge and into the woods…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

… at the shore of – you guessed it – yet another lake. Very refreshing, I’m making the ripples, ha ha.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This lake has a swan family with eight<\/em><\/strong> cygnets on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By now we’re almost back at the beginning again. It’s a great area to walk with humans and if you ever happen to come our way we’d love to take you round here!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bye for now.<\/p>\n

PS. How do you like my new beard dip? Trouble is when it’s ‘on’ Mum keeps having to dash to the loo.<\/p>\n
