The woods were almost deserted this morning; in fact I only met three other dog walkers the entire time. A bit warmer than yesterday as well, though less sunshine.
Rocco likes these woods as it is very muddy, and there are plenty of sticks for him:
If there’s an opportunity, he does like to chew them into small pieces:
Shoreham village looks nice as always:
And the path across the fields unusually didn’t have any cows in it:
Like most of the country (world?), our Christmas was a much quieter affair than recent years, but we had an enjoyable day nevertheless.
Gemma had wrapped a chew for Rocco, but he was very unsure what to do with it:
An hour later, it had disappeared, so he either ate it or hid it somewhere!
After lunch, we went for a walk in the sunshine. This is Rocco waiting me to throw his stick for him:
The park looked nice in the sun:
But it didn’t stop Rocco getting muddy:
It’s a lovely crisp morning, and really quiet at my favourite place to walk Rocco – High Elms Country Park. Not too muddy this morning, which is a bonus.
As we descended down the hill, the sun was just rising over the opposite hill, bringing a bit of colour to the woods:
Merry Christmas to one and all!
… I’ve been playing around with screening off the chaos which is our loft space, for when I need to do more formal video calls – the bench meeting this evening, for example.
If I’m to use this idea for real, I’ll have to iron the scarves!!
It was a particularly stunning evening at Poverest Rec on Saturday – the moon was large, orange and low, and the mist covering the area was only about six feet deep, giving a weird effect which this photo doesn’t really capture.
The air was very still and it was not at all cold. Altogether quite a lovely walk!
