Visit to Reddish Vale again. 18.9.2018.

Pepe has had a poorly back offside knee this past week but after a visit to the vets and a few injections he seems to be on the mend now.

We had a trip to the Vale on Tuesday, meeting with fiend David with his foster baby Pug Geoff!.

We had a cheap cuppa in the info centre and then a walk round the lake with Geoff galloping ahead puppy like, exploring all the smalls and watching the ducks and swans!.

I carried Pepe and stopped at each bench to take photographs and then on to the next bench, I don't know about his knee mine was giving out by the time we got back to the Info centre, he's going on a diet this week!!.

Lady Mandarin.

Paired for life I believe, this pair have been together a few years.

Very regal 

Looking at all the different shells,colours and markings on the Terror-pins round the lakes ,they must be different types that have been dumped there!.

BOGOF.

Not close enough with this one.

That's better hey!.

Talking about pairing, think Loveee is in the air.

You can run but you can't hide Heron specially with legs like those.

Alright I'll come out for a photo shoot.

Is this my best side?.

Think I'd like to try that bungee jumping!.

Ooooh perhaps not!!.

A few of the little guys.

Fluffy.

Today Pepe looking and I'm sure feeling a lot better!, had a wash and trim on Friday that the vet had said was OK. He looks and smells lovely now.

Not quite the Lion King but he thinks he is!.

Been re potting some of my Mother-in- law's tongues and Ponytail Palms today, bought the Ponytail Palms after reading they store water in the ball trunk at the base and over watering is the worse thing you can do, they were placed on a wet tray at the garden centre, still I suppose they water everything the same and hope they sell before they die!.

I've re potted mine in Cactus compost and hope for the best that they will dry out before the roots rot!.

I like cactus type plants as they survive better if you forget to water them.

Well that's it for another day folk's.
