| A clipped and shampooed Cookie |
We took Cookie for another walk tonight. We took a route which took us through grassland and nice houin estates until we reached a large lake where a menagerie of ducks and geese reside, a really lovely place. Cookie had been taken for a shampoo and trim today and she did look lovely. I especially liked her bushy eyebrows!

| Lakeside |
On the way back i just happened to catch a glimpse of something in the hedgerow which, at this time, shootsup in abundance. The plant is Lords and Ladies (Arum) and throws up pale green/white spathes which, in autumn, are followed by bright brilliant red berries that the birds find irresistable.
We have a similar plant in the garden (Arum italicum) whose foliage is a lovely glossy dark green with white marbling. It grows best in moist shade but we have it growing in dry shade beneath a dense thicket of bamboo which just goes to show it can cope with any extreme.
