Walking . . .

At the weekend we took the boys and dogs to Haigh Hall, our local country park. The visit almost started in a near disaster as Mac our youngest dog on the way out of the car slipped his lead and as a young daft dog does, he just bounced all over the place and straight into the road. Needless to say for a moment we thought he was a goner. Thankfully we managed to get hold of him although he was in the "dog house" for most of the walk.

In the end it was a pleasant outing, I love walking through the woods and so do the kids, especially here because it brings back my own childhood memories and I remember the fairy waterfall that we always stopped off at. Even when I no longer believed in fairies, I always insisted on taking a peek just in case!

. Although I tried to find the waterfall for the boys, I couldn't remember where it was and the boys didn't mind because Patrick likes to climb and Oliver looks for dinosaur tracks and fossils. And as you can see the dogs just love MUD!
