Heart shaped Fungus

Emma and I went for a lovely long walk with Belle the Dog and had a catch up after the holidays now that the kids are all back studying. What a summer we have had, both our Mothers have passed away, we agreed that it doesn't feel real.

We couldn't believe the size of this fungus, it looked like a heart shaped floral arrangement from a distance.

Very sad news at home as Max's fears were confirmed and Squirrelisimo was discovered dead in her nesting box :-(  We think a neighbour must have put some rat poison out....
Max's BLIP here.

It's really sad, Max dug a hole in the garden and we said goodbye. Hopefully more will come but for now the whole family seems to have been wiped out.
