Splosh

The missus liked the sound of our King's Forest Walk and was miffed that we didn't bring her back any of those delicious raspberries, so we went back for a Sunday morning walk and took her with us this time.

Now, on Saturday we had more rain than the last three months put together and it showed. Little W and Little Miss couldn't wait to splash in the puddles with their wellies on.

The welcome wetness brought out the wet-loving wildlife. We saw loads of these little frogs jumping across the path.

And the snails were loving it too.

There were still lots of butterflies. Here is a Speckled Wood I managed to catch with my camera.

But what about the raspberries? Alas the had nearly all gone - eaten, picked or gone black, so we only managed to pick 3. But there are masses of blackberries that will be ripe soon. We'd better bring a bucket or two next time.
