This is a red Admiral butterfly - Leo liked these - the flowers did not smell nice but the butterfly's and bees and fly's didnt seem to mind !
I liked watching these !

 me and evie went to play  afterwards

 Evie found a tree which i could climb

 Another tree to climb they were wet and slippy - i had wellingtons on so i could not grip the tree well !

 it was nice down next to the water

 can you see the tree roots ?

 Leo was looking at me and Evie playing

 Leo does not like the sun in his eyes !

 this is one of the towers can you see the window ?

 one of  the towers behind a oak tree
