Funny birds

 There's this big tree at the dog park, we think it's a chestnut.
All around it on the ground there are these little fluffy things.


It turns out there are parakeets up there that pull the fuzzy leaf casings off and drop them on the ground!
Barnaby wasn't really feeling his best though so we went home and had a good long sleep.
On our afternoon walk we spotted this sign and Barnaby would like you all to remember there are no poo fairies and no litter fairies so please clean up after your dog and take your rubbish to a bin.

A lovely walk


We had a really good walk at Cranford today.

Somebody even had a quick paddle in Frog's Ditch!
We're both exhausted now and looking forward to a good night's sleep.

A rest day



 Spent mostly on the sofa fast asleep.


We had just two short walks but spotted this amazing fungus on a tree stump.

Such a big day

One of the other dog owners at the dog park told us about the Shot Tower.

So we went to find it. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_Park)

There were some lovely trees there...


...and the river Crane.








We walked about 3km, so it's a good job Barnaby has a new bed!!

Spring is springing


There were signs of the changing seasons on the heath today. We saw blossom and daffodils and the little birds were singing their hearts out.


Barnaby wants to know what the London Loop is.....
https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/walking/loop-walk ...we keep coming across parts of it.











This evening we went to the cafe in Isleworth to meet some friends.



Barnaby was a bit cross to be left out of the cake eating and tea drinking but he was ever so good and, of course, everybody loved him.

A few quiet days

But now we're getting back to normal with a good walk in a wide open space.




Where there was a river
















A pretty little church










And the castle
