Introducing the Wonderful World of Springfield Park (after brekkie at the Dalston Café of course)

Our Friend Scottie John has just opened his new Dalston Café at the top of our Road so we have a new ritual of passing by for our Saturday breakfast so Hamish has to be patient before he gets his walk. Hey - we have to put ourselves first sometimes? NO?
No it's not St. James's Park.....but we think it's even better and it's just up the road.
Today we discovered a welcome new venue for watersports right here in Hackney, well Clapton really but very close. Hamish loved it and so did we. It was very, very quiet and there was no rubbish on the ground!!! Not so many dogs but we still had loads of fun (well there was one but Hamish wouldn't stop trying to hump him so he got angry). Doesn't wee Hamish look very grown up here. A proper young Vizsla genteman.Our sticks weren't good enough for Hamish, he had to find us his own big one to throw into the pond. He now has no hesitation about water at all and loves splashing around and does real deep water swimming. Radio taught him really well, the novice has now graduated and the master is preparing the next lesson which I believe will be tomorrow in Hackney Marshes.
How far is it to Calais? I think I can make it, I can, really I can.


That was the just the pond...then at the bottom of the hill there's the River Lea with lots of Narrowboats and so we stopped for another photo opportunity....


Then Hamish feels peckish for something in the water...





He really wants it....



He thinks he can just about reach it....



Oh dear, I thought it would end in tears - or a wet Vizsla puppy.








Still, nothing like a good run to help dry you off, eh Hamish?Just before we came home we seen this and it reminded us of someone special so we couldn't resist to contribute this respectful homage.
Then we came home and I had to cut the grass which Hamish thought was really BORING! so guess what...time for a Zzzzzzzzz











Then just when I thought he was feeling to grown up for cuddles....
