Sleet & Rain

My man ( as Lizzie has so named him) had the marvelous idea of taking Blue and I for a walk in the countryside on my day off. However, due to no fault of his own I hasten to state, the weather wasn't great. Sleet, rain and freezing wind did not add to the fun of walking around Entwistle resevoir. Believe it or not we still managed to walk for an hour and a halve, deciding that the planned 5 hour walk maybe slightly too long considering the weather and that we have a dog who hates the rain! Best decision of the day.....:o)
It was really good fun really I'm exaggerating and I am very pleased to say that I didn't get upset when we had to wade through marshes and water because we were rather rubbish at reading the map we had with us. And anyone who knows me knows that being cold, wet and feeling slightly lost are not great combinations for me. For the next walk I'm buying an OS map, putting on waterproof trousers and my old walking boots may have to come out as well. The walk had it's bonuses- kissing gates and a lot of them. Ingenious names ;0)
Also the pub meal and beating Craig at Pool made it all completely worth it. Also Blue had his first pub experience, I think he will make a good Pub dog. So all in all a wonderful day and great to be outdoors and not lost as to what to do on my day off. Also have to add Homemade Cheshire Chocolate rocks.
On another note I have booked my flight (10 days in Canada coming up), paid my car tax and had my 5 promised shifts at work. So all is well as Mr. Anonymous foresaw.
