A walk in the woods.

Sunny today but still a chilly start, Beano only likes a quick walk first thing but we go on a set route. Left to his own devices Beano would always walk to the pub to see his friend George but I insist on a variety of walks. The early morning walk goes along by the flood plain  which is still under water.

Once we arrived home I put Beano through the front door and went to the village shop, I didn't need much, just bread, butter and bananas, the shop sells bananas in threes which is good, they don't get time to go brown before I eat them. I also went to the Drs surgery to collect a prescription, I've already received this item once but didn't feel like explaining this to the very grumpy receptionist so I just collected the script without comment.

It had warmed up by the time Beano was ready for his second walk so we set off for the woods. I can let him off his lead in the woods as he never goes far from my side I also took a carrier bag with me and filled it with the rubbish (mainly sweet wrappers) that I found. 

I only saw one other person in the woods she had a border collie with her, it was on its lead and seemed very well behaved.

Once we arrived home Beano snuggled down for a sleep and I read for a while. I've finished The Other Bennett Sister and really enjoyed it. My  current book is Broken Ground by Val Mcdermid an author who's books I really enjoy.

I like Val McDermid's books, too. I recently read her newest (to me) one but can't remember the title. it was good.

I wanted to read The Other Bennet Sister but when my husband collected it from the library the print was too small for me. I wonder if I can request it in large print? I love that Beano has a friend at the pub! June

You’re making a lovely life for yourself. As June said, it’s so fun that Beano has a pub friend!

This week has been quiet so far, no Autumn group as the heat meant to boat trip was cancelled.  Beano is only having very short walks ear!y ...
