So, as can be seen here, Barley's had a lovely day today! And, whilst I don't think anyone else managed to get quite so grubby (although Jake had a good go at it by going through some puddles himself, and then falling over playing footie with Felix) I think it is safe to say that much fun was had by all.
I even managed to join the party for a while, and by happy chance, just in time for tea!
Thanks so much to Kate, Phil, Maddie and Felix, for the hospitality, the fun, and the lovely food.
Must go to bed now, and must not eat any more shortbread!
