Set off early as another busy day in the DOG walking diary... But A38 had other ideas and delayed me by 40 mins grrr has to park up and walk to pick oscar up then over to Odin's. Good walk up to Hayes. Today's cloudy still warm tho. Next to cofton with Monty Milo and fudge the crows where chasing the magpies off the hill. Good run and play, Monty deciding to walk half a mile away from us, on his wonders. Next to six dogs, but only for there today so all out together. As I backed out of the drive my back flip windup caught on the conifer trees..... And smashed my window !!!! Well that's working for nothing today, in a second !😣
Cleaned up then Bruce and lulu Trixi to rednal hill... Lulu playing in the woods, then back up with for dogs, like Deja vu !

The day after the storm.. Well after busy Tuesday... Nice day planned time to plod... Picked oscar up and had chit chat with grounds men... Nice blokes, we put the world to right, worse than "wimmen"
Picked fudge up and Monty Milo and up rednal hill, soon to be Renamed 'my hill' good walk around fudge playing in the thicket Monty and oscar here and there, while me and Milo plodded around enjoying the view... On way down saw an old neighbour, he was on way up with his dog.. I said it's lovely up there apart from the square marsh... Why they don't fill it in... Well for those who don't know what I'm going on about, on the top of the hill there's a concrete base with a square pit about 30 ft square,  next to it , its fenced off but dogs can easily get in...its a sewer full of peat crap rain water and stinks ... The bloke told me the fire brigade built it years and years ago as a pumping station in case the woods caught on fire, apparently there's a few dotted around most hidden in undergrowth ...! Wow !!Well fancy that ...
Feeling impressed next Bruce and oz to park then over to lulu and Trixi good run over quarry.. Next to Romsley and great run play in pools with Bess Bruce and oscar...
