Look , a buttercup !

 An S.D walk had been arranged for early afternoon but Arthur Bear  slept and slept so that we ended up out walking much later on and ............ instead of gloom had late afternoon sunshine to accompany us . Arthur likes to touch the leaves on the low hanging  branches as we walk through the woods , he is so gentle as he strokes the different surfaces , smooth, furry, ridged. In this picture Jess is showing him a buttercup, it held his attention for ages and as with the leaves he touched it with great care. We walked and chatted happily for several hours taking a  new route . Arrived home to a delicious fish pie , thank goodness Dave has put  his chefs hat back on!
Finished the evening  with a grounding chat with one of my close friends on FaceTime . Her two girls kept popping in and out which was lovely , the younger one had just eaten a load of sugary pudding so got Cheekier and cheekier as time went on . A joyful way to end the day.
