Walk, picnic, feed-a-rat

And, the usual Sunday stuff happened today – at least, until 2 pm at which time we left for the George Benjamin Arboretum where we met up with Clare, Tom and Milly for a walk through the beautiful shaded wood and had a picnic afterward. There was a brave rat who came scavenging for scraps, and what with being interested in anything that moves when we have the camera, we lured it into the open with a handful of peanuts and raisins. Yes, we know, rats are filthy creatures and they carry diseases, but you have to concede that they are pretty cute too!
