Little Egret in Flight
Originally uploaded by spinoneuk

The little egret was back today and I was better prepared. Watched it for a while and managed to photgraph it in flight.

Not many people can have had this as a bird in their garden! A little egret came today and I just managed to get a picture through the window before it took off again.

Daffodils

I planted a couple of hundred daffodil bulbs last year. Delighted to see they are starting to show through as it was August so completely the wrong time of year.

Victoria Embankment

I noticed the trees along the Victoria Embankment today were covered in spiky shells. Not a brilliant picture but a reminder to find out what they are.

Back from our tour, we spotted a Goosander on the lake. One male and one female, stayed overnight but then moved on.

Mabel

The beautiful Mabel, Hochopepa Am I Bovvered, posing for the camera. Her mum is the lovely Ethel (Hochopepa Don't Look Ethel) and dad is Little Ben (Michiamo Baradello).

We went for a lovely walk today to the Monsal Viaduct. Very hilly and Buca failed to negotiate a wall (with steps provided). Eventually we had to find him a lower bit to scramble over. He even made quite an ordeal of it and needed lots of help and encouragement.

Chez Mabel

Our tour moves north to Derbyshire where we stayed with Mabel and her family. She was very generous giving up her sofa to visitors. Typical spinone scene.

Hudson's Island
Originally uploaded by spinoneuk

Joan's kitchen has a lino floor and Hudson still has a thing about shiny floors. We had to put down a few mats and towels so that he could go Island Hopping to get around. Here he is sitting on one of his islands looking very sorry for himself.

Dorset Apple Cake

My first attempt at a Dorset Apple Cake. It took double the time expected to cook but tasted great.

Amaryllis about to flower
Originally uploaded by spinoneuk

I bought an Amaryllis just before Christmas for £1 because it was already in flower. I didn't expect it to grow another flower stem and new buds. Bargain.
