Wimbledon

Hooray! Wimbledon has now finished. I have been somewhat annoyed at the amount of time Daddy has spent watching grown men and women hit tennis balls at each other. I would much rather go and join them. Anyway, last night's men's final was an epic affair, or so I am told. It lasted so long that I went out for two rather foreshortened walks while it was going on. Hopefully, normal service can now be resumed!

I found a squirrel

I have just spent a few days in Newbury with Daisy. I like going there, not least because there is a river in whichever direction we go - the river Kennet and the river Lambourn. Here I am with some cygnets on the Lambourn Valley Way which goes through the Donnington Grove Golf Course. (Planning permission to divert this path has fortunately been denied.) We also visited Hungerford Marsh again which has a lot of water.

When I came back home, I saw my first squirrel. Well, it just had to be chased. To Daddy's great surprise, I jumped up a 7 foot high fence to try to reach it, but I couldn't and it disappeared up a tree. I think squirrels must have great fun.
