Tue 2nd May: Round our lake

Cato:

Phew!  I finally got Mum to sit down and blogg.  It is hard work!  I'm going to sit on her feet so she can't escape.

This is from AGES ago when we were at Grandma and Grandad's.  We left Dad behind, which was very worrying.  And we sat in the car for agesandages, and then we arrived!  And it was lovely to see G&G, and have cuddles and tug of war and check the garden and the fields and the lake were OK.  Cos, you know, I hadn't been there for ages to make sure.

This is our lake walk.  If was a bit hot and I got a bit puffy.  Tara got puffy too, but it didn't slow her down at all.

This is on the way to the lake

and here it is!  It was all sunny and bright, and Mum only had her lunch hour, so we had to get a wiggle on.

Tara never wants to climb DOWN does she?  All those steps, but she only wants to go UP

Mum said there were 14 swans.  I don't know what 14 is, but it sounds a lot, doesn't it?

This made Mum larff

And remember those lovely sniffy wood piles from last time.  All wildlifey, and sniffy.  Well here is one in late spring.  It was even sniffier!  But I couldnt get very close on account of all the green stuff.

that is a swan nest.  that that grandmother woman trying to feed her kids to the swans again.  They tried to stroke me and Tara too.  And they didn't ask first!  The boy chased Tara, but she was faster than him.

These are bluebells.  Mum says so.

This is dark cos it is facing the sun.  or something.  it wasn't really dark.  Mum made a bit thing about the pylon walking across the water.  But I don't know what a pylon is.

we stopped for 2 drinks!

and this was a pigeon!  it was a fresh kill.  Mum said a fox must have got it.  There was blood and EVERYTHING.  But I didn't lick it.  Mum said 'Leave!' and I did, although she gave me a treat.  I didn't actually want to lick it.  I think it must have been sitting in the sun a bit too long.

She LOOKS down though.

Can you see the duck babies.  Just the right size for my tea.

Tara wanted to go through here, until she heard a big paw barking in that field.  Then she came back very quickly.

This was when it got REALLY hot.

See how crunchy the mud had got.  Its no fun when it is like this.

Oh, this is a memory bench.  Grandma knew this lady.  She was nice.

Weird tree stuff

It was so hot I did my exhausted snore all afternoon, and Grandma asked Mum 'what have you done to your paws?'

Haha!  but I was OK by teatime, even though it wasn't pigeon.  Or duck.

No wonder you love going to G&G, the lake walk is the best isn't it? Such a beautiful, peaceful place.....I'd stay there everyday if I were you sniffing, hunting and playing......

You must have heard mom wrong, maybe she said pythons like your toy.....cause I don't see any pylons in the sky anywhere, Do you? Hahahaha

Mum:  Now that is a nice piece of editing Crystal - lovely job!  :ohyeah:

Cato:  Pythons!  You must be right AuntieCrystal!  I love python hunts.  And I am very good at them!  We have pythons at home, so now I can go hunting round the lake too!  I'm so glad you sorted Mum out.  How did she spell Python wrong?  Very confusing!
