A Muggy Afternoon

The weather has been very varied over the last few days.This morning we had spits and spots of rain but by the time we came to walk we had hazy sunshine and it was warm and muggy. We did a slightly different walk starting at Ashley Walk carpark. Having just frontlined the dogs we had to prevent them from swimming so we went up the hill and down along the other side. We ran into a few boggy places but on the whole it was a pleasant walk. The dogs found several bones that had been bleached clean by the sun. So biscuits had more appeal and we were able to leave the bones behind. There are a lot of foals in the forest now and as they get bigger they are beginning to show more independence and move a little way from the mothers, but they can soon run back if they are scared. Because the foals can be skittish we tend to put the dogs on lead whilst we pass them. By the time we got back to the carpark we were feeling very warm and glad to drive home for a cuppa!
