Wimbledon Common is basically an outdoor tardis. I have lived next to it for 25 years and yet it still rolls out surprises pretty much every time we go there.
Including this week – went off down a different path and somehow a ginormous new lake was shining in early autumnal glory before us. Much to Scrumpy's great delight as it doesn't even have sides she has to scramble up and down – a perfect sloping edge for ecstatic entry and water-flinging exit.
Happy doggy days…. make the most of it furl before the weather changes and our 4pm 'joy of meeting daddy at the Common after work' days change to the autumn and winter 'mummy standing in her raincoat under a tree in the local park, before you get hosed down unceremoniously in the back garden when we get home'…
