We're asking visitors to take extra care at Mote Park following the presence of blue-green algae in the lake.

Do not enter the water, swim, or allow dogs and other animals into the lake or to drink from it. Blue-green algae can be harmful to people and animals and may be fatal to dogs.

Please follow the advice on site while the lake continues to be monitored.

2 sides of the field we are in, bits of frozen snow still from our little flurry a few days back. Plus some fresh frost, dogs loving it all warm in their different coloured coats.

We’d like to welcome this little beauty Roxy to the pack. Isn’t she just the most gorgeous little lady 😍🥰 She may be the smallest on the walk but she sure has the biggest wiggle of a butt.
