It's many, many months since we've last sat in this meadow - at least since early autumn last year but maybe nearer a year ago. However, Flynn has a good memory! Today, he herded me over to this spot & made it clear he thought we should stop for a break. Who am I to argue? I flopped down on the soft grass, Flynn flopped beside me & we enjoyed soaking up the sunshine & listening to the birds together. It still makes me so happy whenever Flynn is this relaxed & confident about choosing to make physical contact. Given his history & how many years he spent fearful about getting "too close", moments like this aren't something I'll ever take for granted.
We finally moved on & after making a circuit of the field, pottered homewards. Had to increase our pace on reaching town, as storm clouds appeared out of nowhere, there was a brief burst of rain & the smell of thunder in the air. We scurried for home only making a quick stop, when I spotted a little... stick... in the gutter. Except it wasn't a stick - it was wiggling! A tiny, pale brown, slow worm (the only legless lizard species in the UK). Poor creature had got itself into bad trouble. There's a huge meadow right next to - & several feet above - the road. Occasionally, small animals slip under the fence & tumble off the wall, onto the road below. No way back up for a legless lizard! Luckily, I grabbed it before it slithered into traffic! Slow worm was understandably highly displeased when a giant hand snatched it up, but seemed pretty excited when released back into the meadow! Hope it stays safe in future!
Flynn observed this all with a patient, slightly bemused expression - he doesn't understand why I do it but by now he is well used to me grabbing random wildlife (to the point that he'll point animals out to me, if he thinks they're somewhere they shouldn't be)... Usually it's hedgehogs, frogs, or injured birds! Anyway, minor "rescue mission" done, we raced the storm home... got back just before it started properly thundering & the skies opened up.
Spring came late this year (or perhaps it has been early the past couple of years?) & as result all the wild flowers are in a hurry to bloom & have come out almost at once. Walking through the woods is like walking through a beautiful painting. Even on a rather murky day, there is colour everywhere at the moment - a lovely mix of greens, blues & whites, with splashes of pinks & yellows in between.
Flynn was initially slightly sceptical about posing in amongst these flowers. First he thought there might be brambles hidden among them (he has very thin fur on his paws & hates to tread on anything spiky - which I can't really blame him for!) & then he heard a dreaded bee! It was a big fuzzy bumble bee, so very unlikely to sting anyone but Flynn was stung by wasps a couple of summers ago & since then, he's been very suspicious about all buzzing insects! Once we'd established there weren't any brambles in the area & the bee had buzzed off on its way though, he was happy enough to come stand for the required dog-in-flowers photo that we take every year in spring. I never could resist a chance to photograph a pretty little collieflower :)

Clos Mogador vintage 2015
I remember the first time I ever tasted Clos Mogador, in 2009. It was the 1997 vintage.
Clos Mogador is not a wine one forgets…… ❤️❤️

Sorry …. But I need to make everything just stop !!
I need to make people think that I’ve disappeared; that I’ve gone to the moon or something….
