Spring in Cambridgeshire

Took the dogs out this morning for a lovely walk at Monks Wood, which I believe is the largest stretch of ancient woodlands in East Anglia - no doubt I will be told otherwise. However it provides a beautiful walk on well market paths. There a lovely grassed rides that even with the rain and the frost we've had are still pleasant walking.

Some of you will be aware that there is also a government research centre here, it was from here that the Red Kites were released. Two of which I saw this morning mobbing a buzzard - stunning.

The dogs also are very keen to walk here as I allow them a little more freedom - which they love. Rosie really is turning into a delightful Cocker - working the undergrowth but staying close by - lovely.

I recorded the birth of Rosie at My dogs blog

I am trying to get myself back to where I was before I was diagnosed with cancer - well actually that is not true. I read something about the veterans of the WWII - having survived they learnt something very special - to make every day count 'Carpe Diem' - seize the day.
