George arrived on Monday and we set off, as you can see I am playing catch up. It was a dry morning a bit on the cool side. Arnold & George waiting for me, this happens all along the walk, I am glad they do, if they didn't Arnold would be home well before me and Meg would wonder what was happening.

and plenty of fruit.
Creeping Thistle Elder - the fruit is going over. Fly Agaric - not been as much as past years.
