Old Fellas' Lake

On our visits over to Mum and Dad, Finn and I usually park up and have a bit of a walk along the River Wensum and then around the lanes back towards Swanton Morley.  We pass some fishing lakes on this walk, but we've never been in before for a walk as I thought that dogs weren't allowed.  However, Dad, who is a member of the Swanton Morley Fisheries* syndicate, told me that dogs were allowed, but on a lead, so, on one sunny day back in April, Finn and I had a little walk around the lake as an extension to our normal route.

The daffodils were in bloom and were so pretty in the sunshine.
Poor Finn wasn't allowed off the lead so spent a long time gazing wistfully at the lake.  Not a chance!
Finn was back off the lead back to the car once we were back on the lanes so of course had a swim in the Wensum - and good humour was restored!

(* There are actually a number of lakes at the fishery, all of them having different names.  Dad explained that the big lake at the back is called Old Fellas' Lake - Mum and I had a little snigger and asked if that was where he was allowed to fish!)
