[Margaret Pilkington]

Today on my little walk I was accompanied by four intrepid explorers.......doing a bug hunt...something they have been assigned to do in the holidays by the school.
I was a bit nervous about taking four tinlids along the canal bank....I extracted a promise from all of them that they would do exactly as they were asked. The consequences of a failure to comply would be that we would turn back.
Here are some of the pictures of the walk.
1) Looking in nooks and crannies - a spiders web sprinkled with dew.
2) barging down the leeds and Liverpool.
3) the lady gave us a wave.
4) Drake on a swimming platform...it's an old pallet really
5) ducks having a feeding frenzy......a bit of old carpet must have been harbouring something good to eat.
6) fat Rose hips on a dog rose bush.
the next three are a bee on a thistle.
