Autumn woods

An earlier than usual start to get Joe along for an early kick off at Tranent. A very tight game saw Joe's team lose 2-1 and he was a bit subdued after accidentally hurting one of the opposing defenders who made a last ditch tackle as Joe was trying to get a shot away. As he said after the game " I don't like hurting people Dad". I told him that these things happen and that anyway the other guy was fine but he was still upset, poor wee fella.

Back home for a cuppa and then off to Butterdene Woods with Ruby and the whippet for a walk through the subdued autumn colours. Ruby was telling me how much she loved the colours and smells of Autumn but then the whippet found some fox crap to roll around in and the smell suddenly took a turn for the worse. We drove home with the windows down in the car.
