I  had a walk to Angel Bay yesterday and took my dog with me,  there were quite a few people there and many had dogs.    A lot of the dogs were off the lead like mine was and they were all well behaved.  I thought no more about it until I spoke to my neighbour today and he told me that the Dog Wardens were out in force in Angel Bay yesterday and fining people who didn't have their dog on the lead.
In all honesty I hadn't seen a sign so I consider myself lucky that I didn't get a fine too.
If I had of been fined yesterday then I would have had a much different attitude to the white CCBC  van parked in a bus stop on the West Shore.

Discovered we have frog spawn in our garden pond. Not sure whether this is early or the normal time for it to start appearing.

My next door neighbour normally has Frog spawn in January in his pond and you can tell when the Frogs are ready to lay their spawn because they make such a racket.

The Swan and Chaffinch,  I thought I was about to see a picture of a new pub!

Llandudno dog walkers wrongly fined £75 in 'mistake' by private firm

I did wonder about the legality of their action, but only because Mostyn Estates are the Landowners and not the CCBC

Glad we dont have to put up with this on Mull.

How does it work if you refuse to give them your correct name and address.
Surely they can not expect anyone walking thier dog to be carrying £75 pounds on them.
Only time I carry any cash when walking the dog is if I am calling in for a pint on the way home and then it is nothing like £75.

As far as I have been led to believe, if you refuse, they threaten you with the police, but they have no legal rights. There again if I am wrong I am sure that someone will correct me ! :P

I was by the little Chapel of St Trillo's when I took the photos but didn't stay too long as it was too cold and rough out there.
