Oak Apple Gall Wasps and Creepy Trees!

Hi Woofers!

Back again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

It has been rather warm and sunny today down here in North Kent. However, the morning sun rise was a little disappointing, hardly a glow, more of a dull smudge!

See what we mean?
 Mind you, it was fun when Old Two Legs pointed out one of the trees who had his face on today!

Treebeard is an old cousin of mine!
 Walking along the path through the forest OTL saw a tree with a funny growth on it. He said it was a caused by a Oak Apple Gall Wasp. The tree didn't have its leaves out yet so we couldn't say if it was an Oak Tree but after they are out we will check again!

Yep! That's the front door for the Gall Wasp!
 Lunchtime was warm and today both May and Eric were awake, they said they would love a run out.

This field is full of sniffs!
 The local Parish Council Members look after the sea front and keep the grass mown. OTL keeps telling them they should leave some weeds for the insects but they keep chopping the weeds back. So, it was pleasant to see some plants growing, before they chop it all down again!

Now that looks pretty!
 Miss May spent most of the time on the ground but Eric asked if he could spend time in the Ferret Bag, that was until we turned for home and then he jumped down a scurried all the way back to the car!

You know this bag is so warm and comfortable!
 Mind you, he did enjoy the run back to the car and all the sniffs along the way!

Hey! How's this for a pose!

It was good to read how helpful Archie Babe has been, helping to clear up all the mess his Two Legs has made with her new electric gissmo!

Dinner has just been called, It's Mugging Time!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

  1. Yo maties. Well it started out nice and sunny and I had a really nice walk but then it got cloudy and chilly and then it rained cats and frogs. I've had a nice lazy day today, I left my mum to do the jobs wot needed doing and I put my paws up. Nice pictures today, that tree looks funny, does he tell you off if you cock your leg up against him though? Glad to hear Miss May enjoyed her walk, she's putting young Eric to shame, he shouldn't be riding in the bag when he could be walking along and sniffing the sniffs. Look at him posing for the camera, tsk. I'm pleased to say we've had a day without my mum walking round with power tools, I do worry about her sometimes and it's so noisy as well, she never thinks I might be trying to snooze. Well I'd better go and have a pre scoff snooze and it will be bed time soon. Have a lovely evening all, enjoy your scoff. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little (still on strike) Arch and the Nippers. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  3. Archies mum seems to be like your mum Daisy, they both like to rush around with their electrical wot nots causing havoc and noise pollution. You will need to get some ear plugs and try locking the doors when they leave, don’t tell them I suggested it! That tree looks funny, it has a lovely smile, I am not sure of that waspy thingy, it looks frightening to me. The weekend sounds cold so get your coats out and aired and keep away from those clippers xxxxxx
