linda_joyceI took Losyn up to Pen-y-Fan Pond for his walk on Friday. It was a wonderful day as you can see from this photo.
That tree is not in leaf it's in flower. It's a ripe male Pussy willow. Before they begin to produce pollen male Pussy willow look like this.
The water in the pond was almost as clear as glass as this photo, taken from the dam side into deep water, will testify.
The walk round was uneventful, apart from mad races between Losyn and any other dog not on a lead(three IIRC) and a swim for him to cool off,(in the shallow end thankfully). The dangerous dog part ocured when we got back to the car park side and we passed a puppy who really wanted to play. He made a rush ar Losyn who was standing between me and its owner, startling him into a tight turn and his swinging head hit my bad knee. He will be having short walks to fields or ponds and a session with a chuckit and ball on my days to walk him. Not that he will object to that ball chasing is his second favourite occupation, eating comes first and walking a very close third.
And finally I think I mentioned that my local supermarket(Sainbury's) has taken to wrapping its bananas. I called in to buy some on the way home from Pen-y-fan pond and here is the proof.
