Fun in the garden

I was exhausted after an afternoon of chopping back unruly brambles growing along the stream banks. It was a job that didn’t get done last year so it was doubly difficult this year as some of the arching branches were over a metre long and tried to hook themselves onto any passing sleeve or trouser leg. Bertie was very well behaved, pottering around close by. He is so good at amusing himself as long as he can keep an eye on me. I couldn’t resist a bit of play with his favourite toy (the green tyre) before we went for our walk.
