I've started......

     .....my christmas shopping today.....

.....took a trip into Sutton to get someone's birthday present, and something new for me to wear at a special Sunday lunch this weekend.

But there was so much good Christmassy stuff....so I decided to make a start.

It was an absolutely beautiful morning, so Joe and I went for an early morning walk in the park beforehand.

.....so many crab apples sparkling with dew against a bright sky.

Joe barked himself stupid at the base of the trees....

...there was a couple of squirrels jumping about way up there...

I love the way he barks like fury and then glances over at me....what is he expecting?

  Am I supposed to join in...or just go up and get those squirrels for him?
