This Find Made Badger Very Happy

Walking on my own again as Mrs A S was off on a ladies coffee meet up. Due to the numbers on the towpath this morning both dogs were confined to leads while outward bound, on the way back however Badger (now off the lead) reached a point he ran down to the waters edge and came back with this very worn football! He was very happy with his find and galloped up and down the  towpath for a while teasing Fern who was still on lead. He wasn't happy that he could not take it home!
At home a little more work in the orchard, although the frosty coating to the world has gone the ground is still frozen and without the Sun it was far less pleasant working outside.
So an early Blip for me! 
Take care and stay safe one and all.............
