An early morning walk at Ashurst.

This morning I took Missy to meet Karen and Taivas at Ashurst, a village on the edge of the forest.
We met at 7.30 am and all ready it was warm and humid are some overnight storms. We walked through Churchplace Enclosure and eventually got to the River. Two Labs and a little Westie were there before us and they all played in the river. The Labs and Missy swam after sticks.....Missy was always the fastest but they all had fun. We took a different route back through the enclosure. There were a lot of butterflies fluttering around and at one stage a little Roe deer skipped across the path. By the time we got back to the car it was very muggy and although the sun was hidden by clouds it was very hot.
