View from work!

Like most people in life, I do occasionally get a little fed up with work and sometimes, just sometimes, I really don’t feel like making another bed or polishing another chest of draws. But then I look out of any of the bedroom windows and realise what a wonderful place to work! Derek took these pictures from The Dunkery Beacon on Thursday and I think you would agree that it’s not a bad view!

I knew that we were going to be pretty busy so I took the opportunity of taking the dogs out for a beautiful long walk along the River Exe from Winsford to Exford, up over Room Hill and then followed the river on the other side of bank back to the truck. It was perfect walking apart from one heavy shower. Soda and I took cover under some trees while Wistful and Wagtail had a happy 20 minutes routing around in the gorse bushes totally unaware of the rain!

Abby has become too lame now to go for long treks so I had to leave her at home to help Derek with the gardening. When I looked back in the mirror she was sitting in the drive looking so sad and apparently remained there until we came back some 4 hours later!
