We went for a walk from the cottage this afternoon. Not the sunniest of days, but a nice pleasant temperature for walking.

First bit was through Dollops Wood, which is right next to the farm, and full of bluebells in Spring:

After a quick visit to the community shop in Polstead village, we followed the footpath to a small pond, where Rocco had a good splash:

Then onwards and upwards, unfortunately getting caught in a brief shower:

We then dropped back down into the valley and followed the route of the River Box upstream.

After negotiating a field with cows, Rocco had a lovely time chasing sticks:

Then had a good splash in the ford at Homey Bridge.

Then back up the hill to the cottage and a welcome cup of tea!
