Day 228 - August 16th

After the wet weather we have had this past week, this morning was dry and bright. Not particularly warm ... but dry and bright. We seized the opportunity to take Millie for a long walk over the fields something which she hadn't had whilst we were away.

The plants and flowers growing alongside the fields are changing and there are signs that summer is coming to an end. Autumn will soon be upon us. I noticed quite a few seed heads dried by the sun.

Millie enjoyed the opportunity to have a run and happily ran ahead of us stopping every now and then to look back and check we were still there.

The flowers on the elder are now being replaced by huge clusters of berries.
