Squirrel and amazing mahonia!

I feel like I have been fairly busy today, I packed three boxes and emptied out a cupboard this morning and packed another box after we had had dinner earlier this evening. Late morning I wrapped up, it was dry but a very blustery wind. I walked a little way up Peasholm Drive, passing the park from the higher road, and then through the green area to go down to the glen.

I had taken peanuts with me in the hope of finding hungry squirrels. Fed on on the way down, which meant I got a couple of reasonable photos. They never turn out too well in the glen because it is so shaded and also the squirrels run off because to the children, dogs and pigeons!

A collection of pictures in the glen, which I never tire of and will miss when we move.

I love this beaver carving which has appeared this year.

This foamy water was unusual and made for a different shot.

Must put a mature mahonia shrub on the top of my shopping list for the new garden, lovely to look at and wonderfully scented flowers.

It crossed my mind that I could kidnap the groundsman that have been doing this clearing to help get the new garden under control!

Talking to Donna the other day she said that the shelters I often sit in beside the path in the park used to be aviaries when she was a child!

When I got home I sat for a bit, did get a pair of well padded shoes on this afternoon for about three hours, my ankle was really complaining and they had to come off, but I will try again. After dinner the sky was nice, but no actual sunset.
