I just tried to post on your blog but had problems Maybe it's there and I'm just not understanding how to do it properly!

I wonder if a bird had its tail for dinner?<br /><br />It`s pouring with rain again here.

We used to have Lizards and Slow Worms in our Southampton garden, so I grew up with them and had no fear of picking them up. First they would wee on you to try and make you drop them, and then drop their tails in the hope that would do the trick.<br /><br />Cute little skewbald foals, and the bay with the big star. I was looking at your skyline and trying to work out if it's one I am familiar with . . . No, don't give me any clues. I will consult Crossing if I remember.<br /><br />As for dogs 'n' sticks. My friend's 3 cobs (2 of them pure Welsh cobs) play with sticks - amazing to see them trying to take it off each other and run away with it!<br /><br />P.S. I LOVE your drawing of the little piebald foal. And - I believe you when you say its a Nuthatch . . . honest injun!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109597837911345568.post-12274411436600884462012-05-11T15:32:45.879+01:002012-05-11T15:32:45.879+01:00great photos, I loved the mini crocodile! dogs wit...great photos, I loved the mini crocodile! dogs with their sticks make me laugh.
