You would not believe how difficult these photos were – the Swan was feeding and constantly dipping into the water. Moving target...! 😆

Up early to get ready to head to Gloucestershire for an #Orienteering event at #CannopPonds. As I was packing, I saw the news that the weather forecast is heavy rain on top of near freezing temperatures. Fine (albeit ❄️) for me, but not for my 9 year old, so sadly spending the day at home rather than making him sit in the car all day.

This does mean more #FinalGirl, and the dog will get shaved, but still feeling a little disappointed. I hope everyone who goes has a great run.
