Day 104 - April 14th


Wayne has this week off work so Millie is going to get lots of extra walks! After breakfast this morning we took her out.

We walked down the footpath beside the church......


..... and paused on the bridge for a couple of quick games of pooh sticks.


Then we walked across the fields



I got to photograph my first butterfly of the season!



In some fields there were carpets of purple dead nettles. In the sunlight they looked so pretty.


Millie wasn't interested in the dead nettles but is made for Goosegrass (Cleavers, Stickyweed). She seeks it out in the hedgerows whenever we take her out and can't eat enough of it. I did a bit of research and found that this is not unusual and that it is perfectly harmless to dogs (and humans) and can be beneficial.
