This week, as the temperatures have been rising, we’ve noticed our animal friends and how they cope in this hot weather. 

We come across horses searching for shade, pigeons bathing in cool water, swans on the canal, man’s best friend (Ronnie) resting on the cool floor of the woods, and our feline friends – who I might hasten to add seem to actively seek the sun, lying in the warmest spots and only occasional seeking shade!
