Berrys in the wood

Now that summer is here(!) we decided to go for a walk in the woods. There are masses of berries in Shenley wood. We spotted a few elderberries, slows and blackberries. The girls are planning a return visit tomorrow to make some jam.

But it wasn't just berries in the wood this afternoon, we also spotted a deer on the foot path. If you look very carefully you might spot it too...

Our walk in the wood was followed by a major tidying blitz. The garden is a no-go zone still. You would need a swimming trunks to cross the lawn. It looks a bit like the Somme. Perhaps a few days of summer will dry it out...
