I’m getting the garden ready for winter, but it’s taking a rather long time, as I have to dodge the showers. This can get a bit annoying as you get really stuck into something, and then have to stop due to the rain. I was tidying the flower bed over the weekend, and came across a little frog hiding under my lilac. I managed to get a photograph of it before it hopped away, it’s a bit blurred, but hopefully you can see him/her. I’m not sure where it came from as I don’t have a pond and there are no lakes near us, just a stream about a quarter of a mile away. Still it doesn’t matter how it got to my garden, I hope it stays and eats my slugs and snails. I’ll look after it well.

My little frog, I’m not going to kiss him.
