I was walking into town along the path by the lade when I thought that I should take some photos. I could hear something in  the weeds so I waited for a duck to appear…..but it wasn’t a duck. I’ve never seen an otter before in real life.  It seemed to be about two foot long and thicker than my arm. It was very fast.

I saw all of it , but my camera wasn’t quick enough.

It gave me something to put in my sketchbook .

My new paintbrushes arrived. I was very excited.

I’m sitting outside writing this ……though it has turned a bit grey.

Wine time now.

Cheers🍷🍷
