This morning Anya and Isobel picked me up from the hotel and we went to Van Hage for breakfast, I haven't done that in a while! We were in the queue for ages but it was worth the wait. Then we went to Ferry Meadows, it was a lovely day and we thought a walk in the fresh air would do us all good. They had sheets for the children to do a Fungi quiz so Isobel had one and it meant we had to walk right round one of the lakes.

The sun on the water was lovely, but it was difficult to take pics as we were facing the sun. I took this one in the shade of a tree.

Anya took this one of me with Isobel, it is nice to have one together when we get the chance.

There were some great plants, I particularly loved the pink thistle, have never seen one before.

There were hundreds of ladybirds, strange, as \I have seen hardly any this year. This on was unusual, black with red spots and a spot inside the spots!

I took a few pictures of trees, this one was colourful.

After our trip we spent some time back at the house. Isobel watched a new dvd and we tried out one of her new games. They took me to the station and I had a really good journey home.
