I looked out of the window earlier and spotted Ginger down the bottom of the garden,at first glance he appeared to have caught some sort of creature and I was about to go to the rescue when I noticed his kill was in fact a leaf. He was really worrying it but it put up a good fight before Ginger tired of the game and wandered off.
Looking at the mess out there it is hard to believe that for the last couple of years that area has been full of colour from wild flowers with blooms aplenty and bees and other creatures having a great time. Now it is just a sodden mess with standing water still in some places and soggy just about everywhere. The worst summer on record has taken a heavy toll up this part of the country. Roll on spring.
