parasols

more trouble with fungi. This looks like a Saxon war shield from above. The more we look in mushroom and fungi books the more confused we get. It might be an agaric, the gills are pink ... the ring is , well, ringy. Can we eat it? You try first.

I'm back

well, I have had a fantastic two weeks with John and Fiona. Mum and Dad are back, they have gone a strange brown colour and smell of alcohol and spices. They went to More_itious and want to go back! So do we. This is not a local spider, but it does illustrate that the web is indeed world wide. The woods are becoming very autumnal but the weather feels completely out of synch> What is going on?

holidays

My owners (aka mum and dad) are off on their holidays. Fiona and John are coming to look after us, this usually means long walks, staying out late at night and generally heaps of fun. However, it also means no access to the computer. It is almost a year since I started writing this blog, and I have enjoyed doing it but I want to spend more time doing my own thing, getting lost and bullying rabbits. I have learnt a lot in the last year, not every day is my birthday and I don't always get the presents I deserve. I can now count up to 420. Also the number of people with the time to visit my blog is getting very small. I will probably post a few pictures of autumn in deepest Cornwall next month but then I plan to say farewell, adieu to all my fans and lurch off into the future.

I may make a year book of all the pages and put it on a CD available on request, or I may not!

...and in celebration we got together for this little montage to say thank you and keep up the good walking and feeding.
