Drained

Busy work day, but another beautiful day, weather-wise, so I made sure to get out for a walk in the afternoon.  Tim had been for one to the seafront in the morning, but he joined me for a wander over to Bicclescombe Park.  We wanted to see the re-filled leat and check up on the frogspawn / tadpoles.  Sadly, although the leat was full again, the only tadpoles we could see (hundreds of them) were tiny and dead :(  Very sad. 

The pond in there has been drained too - though deliberately, for a big clean-up.  There was a big mound of sludgy leaf matter waiting to be removed, then I suspect it'll be re-filled again.

Glad to finish work for the week and start the (albeit short - as I'm off to London on Sunday) weekend.  We had a treaty Friday night dinner of burgers and wedges.
