Toad of Toad Hall

Meet Mr Toad... to be more precise, Mr American Toad (Bufo americanus).

He lives in my back yard with his family and friends.

Handsome fellow, warts 'n' all.

  5. I tried to post you a link to a little hotel I drove past a while back called the Wind In The Willows.. In Glossop Derbyshire... it was a charming place and one many stories could be written about.
