    Got it in one, walnut ... you must have remembered my photos from last year. :gnthb: Love it shiney! :hehe:

    It's Rolph the Terrapin at our favourite restaurant about 6-7 minutes from us ...

    Sadly the restaurant closed in February and we often wondered if Rolph was still there but the property is fenced in so we could not look. We noticed last week it had re-opened (under new management) so stopped by yesterday to make arrangements for t'other half's 60th celebrations today. I went to the pond and called Rolph twice ... there was a splash and the little chappie came swimming at a high rate of knots to me. The daughters of our friends visiting from Buckingham are going to be so delighted as they have been upset that he had gone ... it will be a surprise to them as they don't know where we are going today. :yho:
