Lower Horse Paddock, Bumpers Lane, Rufus Castle, St Andrew's Church and Penns Wood

A late afternoon walk and very little about. In fact the best highlight was watching Ted doing a Bichon Buzz. Not something he's done in a long time. Well it was cooped up at home all day yesterday.

Here are a few images and videos from today:

A White-tailed Bumblebee on Mahonia

An unidentified fly on a Daisy.

A nice bit colour as the berries on the Japanese Spindle begin to open out.

There is something quite peaceful listening to waves coming up onto the beach.

And of course Ted who just enjoys living close to the edge. He also.........

...........enjoys a good buzz every now and then.
