The weather was cold, but sunny. And no rain. A walk was in order. So we, Donna, Lucy and me, put on our wellingtons (or gum boots, if you live downunder), in different colours. blue, maroon and lavender plus spots. No green or black colours for us. And attached the pink lead, with pink poo bags, to Poppy, and off we went into the crisp cold air.
What was this looming over the green hill? Clouds, but as it was quite windy, they disappeared quickly, thank goodness. However, it was a very cold wind, that blew over this hill.
We walked along the towpath, taking care not to slip on the mud, and then down the bank into the very cold canal. Easy to do too. Once Poppy slid on the mud, straight into the canal, but luckily Donna was able to haul her out by her collar. And luckily Donna did not slip down with Poppy into the canal too.
Bottoms up!
Sunny, but cold. A view over a canal that was extremely busy last May, on a hot day.
We walked between the canal and the reservoir. Not so muddy here.
An old lock house, with lock in front.
The reed beds looked spectacular with their seed heads.
Then back home to the warmth, a cup of tea and a long rest after our 2 hour walk. And to wash our boots, and give Poppy a bath. A very muddy but happy dog. I love winter walks.
