Within wing's reach

It feels like we've been packing and getting things ready for our trip to France forever! I took Anya out to the river for a change of scene; she loves to see the ducks/swans/pigeons/seagulls and has learnt the sign for bird.
The swans were very protective over their cygnets today, just as I had to be with Anya trying to crawl into the water with them!
