A bumper crop of frogs...

Don’t you just love frogs? I do. I’ve just had the most gorgeous, tiny-but-perfectly-formed frog sitting on the end of my middle finger. It was about the size of a penny and we ‘grew’ it from the frogspawn that was deposited in our pond a few months ago.

Well, strictly speaking, it grew itself, but we feel very proud because we’ve had such an excellent ‘crop’ of frogs this year. Last year the fish ate all the frogspawn and we didn’t see one single baby frog, but this year, we have froglets in abundance. Chris is halfway through building some decking around the pond and, when it’s finished, I’m just going to sit and watch them all summer…
