I’m back on my bike – well mostly. I managed two days this week, Monday and Tuesday. At the end of Monday I still felt quite fresh, getting straight out for quite a long dog walk as soon as I got home. On Tuesday it snowed during the afternoon, turning to sleet, which was in my face almost all the way home. This wasn’t in the plan. By the time that I got home I was really cold and wet, and had to change and warm up before walking the dogs up Croft Hill. Icy drizzle turned to driving rain as we got to the top, but luckily only a brief walk was required, because we would be heading out again later on our weekly stroll to the pub. The walk along the footpath down to the Heathcote Arms was distinctly wet and muddy, and I had the embarrassment of two damp and odorous dogs at my feet – good job they are regulars, and they still got treats from the barmaid, and from one of the other dog owners who frequent the pub on a Tuesday. Despite better weather today, I wimped out and went to work in the car.
Chantal’s improvement continues but she is not looking forward to going back to work next week!
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
