January Heath

[puddleshark]

Met up with C. and her Manchester Terrier for a walk across the January heath. The sun came out, and the gorse was in flower, and the robins were singing. But, except where the path winds through the shelter of the gorse clumps, the westerly wind was bitterly cold.



After weeks of heavy rain, every path is a path of puddles, even on the sandy heath. But all bar two of the puddles were shallow enough or small enough for even a puddle-averse Manchester Terrier to tiptoe through or leap over, albeit with a long-suffering expression.

Nice clouds!!!! 😀 (I love clouds!)

Same here. Any landscape becomes interesting with clouds. Even in the flat, brown, winter heath.

You managed to get out in a dry spell when it wasn't raining.

It's funny how some dogs love water and mud (eg spaniels and black Labradors) and some hate it.

We picked our time well! :)

It absolutely hammered it down later in the day and all last night. I couldn't get to the office this morning because the roads were flooded.
