Hot dogs and water rats

Hot dogs

Have Daughter's dog, Holly, staying for a couple of days so this morning, as it was cloudy, I decided to take them for a short walk, which got even shorter when the sun came out and it was too hot for old panty dogs.

Still it was lovely to walk somewhere that wasn't a long hospital corridor.

The first black ones are on their way! GrandSon4 and I tasted our first of the year yesterday.

There were two of these peacock butterflies fluttering around.

Don't know what these are. Look a bit like over-grown wild orchids but I don't think they are. Not rosebay willowherb either.

I forgot to mention that in the park yesterday we watched water rats at play. I specify water rats because that makes them seem more story-book and less nasty sewer creature.
