Bivvy in the woods

the kids first bivvy under the stars.  Being the hottest October in record,  keeping warm wasn't a problem. Had some campfire food and songs, a starlight walk, and some air rifle shooting (got a squirrel and a wood pigeon).  The next day we cleared some deadfall which was tricky, but satisfying to sort out.

Saw this wirehair at Canary Wharf passive searching for explosives

9d

Here is 9d, (nine pence), so called because that is how much extra I added to my max bid on ebay to swing it and it worked.  Had to drive to Tewkesbury after work to pick it up from Rodg, but it was worth it.  So far the biggest ride I have done is Potters Bar to Linton in about 4 hours.  today I fitted the ebay brooks saddle and carradice long flap saddle back and took it for a test run to the coop. Sadde needs tipping up a bit and the bag rubs on the wheel, but both have potential.  The bag swallowed 4 pints of milk, a loaf and tub of haagen das

Walking the dogs

In the woods with the kids

Went after supper, put up the tee pee. Light the fire and had marshmallows.  Turned in then up early to watch the deer. Sausages and climbing trees.

Hedgehog

Saw this lite fella while walking the dogs last night.  Seen a couple lately, may be the dry weather is making them range into the village more

First mobile post - red kiteq

Molly in the snow

Molly my black labrador in some freshly fallen power snow. Molly has a really thick coat and doesn't really get going until the temperature gets below zero celsius. Here she was in her element!
