Me sledging on Christmas Day

Down at Ferry Meadows CP, just before Daddy crashed the car into a post...

The Weedon family went to Fermyn Wood, Bedford Purlieus and Barnack Hills and Holes this afternoon and we took loads of photos of insects. Here are some of my best.

Emperor dragonflies

We have had loads of Emperor dragonflies emerging from our pond in the last week. Here, an adult is hatching from its exuvia, surrounded by lots of other old ones hanging from the Water Soldier leaves.

My dream of Miffords

We were walking in the desert in Egypt. I looked at the moon and said:

"The moon is in the wrong aspect ratio"

Jasmine said: "EDDDDDDDD!"

But Daddy said: "I agree, it is the wrong aspect ratio".

We walked into a forest where there were loads of lemur-like creatures. They were running away, so we ran after them (but Jasmine didn't want to run).

We came to a lake where an Elephant was having a bath.

I said to Dad:

"Have you got our swimming costumes in that bag?"

Dad said: "No"

I said: "So, do we have to snorkel naked, then?"

He said: "No, I have got Sports Miffords"
