Papa Loach

... belongs to Miss Picture-Poems, but has been holidaying in Devon for yonks. He's very shy so it's taken some time for me to take his portrait. Even now, his whiskers don't show up too well.

Horrible*, heavy, deluging rain today, so glad we made the most of Summer yesterday. It was nice while it lasted.

(*Actually, it's good for the garden, so I shouldn't complain.)
