Oooh it was hot.  Mum said only once round the lake today :( on account of the hotness, but in the end I didn't want to go round again.  It was hothothot.

It was windy!  Can you see the wind doing weird stuff to the water round the island?

Look!  There are new swan pups!

Mum said 'Now Cato, behave yourself!  Mummy and Daddy swans don't like paws who are too nosey!'

But they were really sniffy and interesting.  

And I was only looking...

But the Mummy swan got cross with me, and I made a tactical retreat!  That is a technical term.  A Hunting term.

The swans didn't mind Mum.  I think they thought she had some treats for them.

Mum is v pleased with the swan pic.  Especially the one with its leg up in the air.  And the foots in the water.

This is the new bench we found.  It is all shiny new and fresh.

This is the rose that has all the rosehips in the cold weather

And all those little green blips will be Hawthorne berries.

It was still very windy

and Tara was doing her climby thing all the time.  She is pretending to look at those yellow irises, but really she is just standing on the high bit.

We were getting near the carpark again, so Tara picked a fight.  She always does this.

Yes! (says Tara)

I am a FAB swimmer!  In lakes!  So I would be good at that!  But I don't think Cato knows how to swim haha!

Did you notice that I only had a ponytail today?  I look more Ninjary with a ponytail, don't I?

Psssst Tara, don't tell mom ok?  Your pony tail would look just like a shark fin if you swam under water and you could sneak up on mom ........and make her scream . :judy:
