Walk over Fairlop to the Farm shop and a coffee stop

We went for a walk over Fairlop and up to the Farm shop again. Stopping off for a coffee at Fairlop Waters was a nice reminder of 'normal times'. We also noticed some painted stones being left around Fairlop by somebody which was a pleasant surprise. The heavens opened when we were nearly home, but we were able to shelter under the (still closed) Dick Turpin outdoor umbrella. A few photos are below, the rest are here:

FAIRLOP WALK PHOTOS

Red Admiral butterfly in the Conservatory

When we got home from Mum and Dad's I noticed a red admiral butterfly was trapped inside the conservatory. I was able to take a few photos before 'shoo-ing' it out to freedom.

Grasshopper in the conservatory

We had a grasshopper in the conservatory today. Quite a rare sight these days. I was able to get it in a glass and back onto the grass where it immediately started eating blades of grass.

Walk over Fairlop

Another walk over Fairlop, this time to see the Swans and Grebes with their chicks...as well as a Kestrel hovering on our way home.

Walk over Fairlop

We went for a walk over Fairlop today to get some fresh air and take in the nature with lots of chicks on the angling lake!

Walk over Fairlop to the Farm shop before a hail storm

We went for a walk over Fairlop with our coffee flasks for a walk, and doing some shopping at the Farm shop, making it home just in time to avoid a hail storm!

Robins in the garden

The robins are still very active in the garden, but with the youngsters growing up, it won't be long before they head off on their own.
