otterly amazing

I just unearthed this fella in my garden whilst continuing my buttercup onslaught.
I thought him gone forever. It's so magical when things turn you thought lost. Such a treat. He must have been in the ground at least a year, communing with the worms and slugs.

It's a badge,by the way, not shoddy photoshop as my brother just told me it looked like.

As for the buttercup onslaught- what started as a little weeding has turned into a full scale garden overhaul, including digging up and reseeding the whole of my lawn. Luckily its a very small lawn.
I will win!
