Where's bow gone? by judithg

Where's bow gone?

I decided to drive Monty to a new location for a walk this afternoon - even if it does still have to be short. I took him to the towpath which survives wet weather pretty well but couldn't park in the usual spot so ended up walking up the road a bit to find a different way in. As that takes us further along than normal I blithely assumed that Monty wouldn't remember that he doesn't like walking along the towpath - wrong!! Almost immediately the brakes came on and I amused passers by by having to push Monty along by the rump. I had forgotten that the Lent Bumps are underway and there were too many cyclists on the towpath anyway so we did an about turn and headed in the 'homeward' direction - still with considerable reluctance. The weather in one direction was stunning blue skies and lovely light - in the other ('our' direction) it was so dark that almost all my shots are blurred. Ho hum.
Three GT:
1. My new reader who told me he hopes the course improves his skipping - he's going to be fun!
2. A lovely afternoon chat with a friend.
3. Being able to work in the evenings to make up!
Bright hats make it a very cheery shot! Why does Monty not like the tow path? I thought they like water!

@maggiemae Wish I knew! It's just this part - I wonder if it's because he has to stay on lead and he can see dogs off lead across the river?

Superb Judith, love the look on the rowers face. Thought he was looking at Monty but now I see! So glad Monty is slowly getting back to normal.

The Brain Gym people would have it that skipping helps with the reading?! That's funny, Jinks doesn't like walking by water either. Like your shot with one inquisitive subject! And one collapsed!!

Contrary dog! You'd think he'd be pleased to see some action at last. Glad he sounds like his old self

What's wrong with that dog. Your think he'd be pleased to be out and about!

I love the color in this shot. The one fellow looking back makes the shot.

Like the angle, the caps, the one looking back, and the fact that Monty us coming back to be himself

@lucypics @fueast @jantan @phil_howcroft @jgpittenger He's certainly back to being a pain in MY neck! He will at least happily walk other routes though I'm not holding out any hopes that he will have forgotten that Jesus Green used to mean 'hoops'!

Great shot. I was wondering if it perhaps was my son who was in this boat. But, no, he rowed and bumped for 'Catz'. And... won. Now he has to wait for his trophee (a hand painted rowing blade, paid for by himself... probably us,,,) for about 9 months... It was great, so he told us. Drinking bubbles, jumping into the River Cam (yes, even he sai it was a bit chilly) and the rest you/we don't want to know ;)

Ah, glad Monty's back on form! I'm meant to be working this evening to make up. Hence why I'm eating cold custard out of tin and commenting here...
