Lucy .....

gets a mallet .... a kid's polo mallet that Little R bought for her.  They arrived through the side gate into the garden mid morning whilst the weather was reasonable and we had a kick about with the ball and Little B.  As they left to walk home the heavens opened so I hope they got home quickly!  Yesterday evening the rain was threatening and we did our usual walk in 45 minutes and arrived home in the nick of time.  Poor Little B had a bit of a route march but he didn't seem to mind.  Hoping it will stay reasonable for this evening's walk.
