Willow and her stick

Willow loves to chew a stick on the grass which plays havoc with the lawn mower when I have to cut the grass.
I think I might have to cut it today as I am going sailing tomorrow after photographing the Brownsea Island swim for Poole Lifeguards.
The swim starts off Brownsea Castle at 08.00. It is about 4 miles if you swim all the way round but there is a short course that stops half way. There are categories for swimmers with wet suits and without. So good luck to all the 200 odd swimmers taking part and remember to smile if a bloke in a boat pokes a camera at you when you are exhausted and struggling to the finish.
