A walk at Andrews Mare

Today we walked from Andrews mare. This is one of Missy's favourite places as she loves to swim in the boating lake. it was a dull drizzly morning and no one had any model boats on the lake so she was able to have a good swim before we continued our walk down to the stream and up the other side of the valley. Despite all the reports of severe water shortages the lake seemed pretty full to us. Because we have had some heavy rain in the last day or two there were also lots of puddles. At one stage a group of fallow deer skipped across the path and when we got back to the carpark we saw another foal. It was in the trees and it was fairly dark so the photos didn't turn out well. But Spring is coming and soon there will be many more foals on the forest.
