If I want to do a long walk I have to pretend I am doing something else - weeding the vegetables, or the like, and then quietly slip away when he isn't watching! When I get home I get treated to some very reproachful looks!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-15257234085289029472012-07-09T07:54:13.333+01:002012-07-09T07:54:13.333+01:00Hello Maggie, I was so pleased to find she has a ...Hello Maggie, I was so pleased to find she has a companion of her own kind at last!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-8444184351091143102012-07-08T23:30:22.695+01:002012-07-08T23:30:22.695+01:00How magical to have a rainbow end in your own barl...How magical to have a rainbow end in your own barley field.

It is perhaps three or four hundred yards long and there is a fish farm, the watermill and wildfowl gardens, the children's woodland play area, the river and the mill chase, a farmyard with incredibly beautiful old buildings, sheep, an old railway station...which makes it all sound very busy - but because we live on the edge of nowhere, it is incredibly peaceful!! xxElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-59111638728418312022012-07-08T11:13:17.366+01:002012-07-08T11:13:17.366+01:00Hello Ms Sparrow, I think it is all the damp and ...Hello Ms Sparrow, I think it is all the damp and rain which is affecting him - he still expects to be taken out, no matter what.
