First outside foray

18th July: After a little debate about what was a suitable age to let them go outside, we opened the back door. I was surprised at their reluctance, but pleased at their willingness to stick close by. At first they just stared out of the door. They gradually extended their exploration range to the edge of the patio. And that was it for the first session. The grass was a bit long, mostly due to the wet weather preventing weekend cutting.
