Raced around all day today - it was a pleasure to take an hour out to walk our friend's dog while they were out at a wedding. She's the sweetest chocolate lab you could hope to meet - the last of her 10 puppies were adopted this week and I think she enjoyed the fuss. The woods were wonderfully quiet except for Cathy continually asking when could we get a dog, Mum...?
# PS Just noticed that this is almost exactly the same spot as my shot taken in October... pure coincidence ( I recognised the tree) and nice to see how the colours have changed. (Boy and bike -> girl and dog!)
So grateful for all the views and comments that keep me going... you're all so kind - thank you!
