Weekends go way too fast! Till next post Toodaloo ...
Easy day =)
... through the woods, and they were exactly as I had always pictured. It was overcast and the clouds threatened rain, but we continued our walk to the beach. In Formby, they had red squirrels... I wanted so badly to see one since I had heard about them so much in the past, but alas, I was not lucky enough to encounter one due to the weather Uncle Dave said.
