knackered....

both of us.

The in hand walk out that was wanted fr yesterday was done today....must have done abut 5 miles, and annoyingly, some tracks that i last rode with Queenie in 2002/3, and which are still signposted as bridleways, are blocked! so we came back the way we went, but I am going to go to the visitors centre and have a whinge about that, big time! they've been bridleways for an awful long time! the way out (and thus the way back) gets to be a bit of a pond in places, so the clean trousers now need a wash (hems, you know...)

Molly was very good. her power walk was in full "mode" so i had to go that as well - she was keen to see what was round the next corner.

No blocks as such. one stop and stare at some clay pigeon shooters (happily, they'd stopped and were packing up for the day). some mouthfuls of clover, cow parsley, and on the way back hawthorn hedge! guess she's short of something in the vitamin line...

she's done for the day, anyway. when i get some energy back, I'm tack cleaning. But i want to know where partner is - she was with me, but she carried on at our second blockage when i turned round to come back, and i thought she'd be home by now! that was about 1 1/2 hours ago now ....

At least the bridleways are marked. That should give you a bit of help in getting them opened back up.

Hope partner is home by now. I'd hate to think of her being lost out there somewhere.

Hope you haven't lost her!

she came home about 5 minutes after i'd posted - had strategically gone round the wildlife ponds and got back in time that I ended up driving both of us to the shop to get the makings of bacon butties...i'd thought she'd gone straight home and the bacon butty supplies would be all ready!
