It was a visit to the caravan at Littlesea this afternoon, to make sure everything was ready for this years visitors. And afterwards, myself, Dawn, Izzie and Ted, had a very muddy walk through the farmyard, Tidmoor Cove and Lynch Cove.

General Shots:
The farmyard was pretty muddy and so was the track between the horse paddocks.
Ted:
Mud, what mud, as Ted legs it down the path.
