we went to the warburg nature reserve yesterday and it's lovely

as with all good walks in a wood the girls ended up carrying huge sticks for no apparent reason.

very pointed out we'd seen lots of natures (plural) that day. and we had. including: a dead rat (on the road) and squirrels (dead and alive), various little birds, lots of red kites, a herd of stampeding deer in the wood, rabbits and probably other things i forgot.
