Walking the Dog

We are dog sitting for a week.

Without Charlie I might not have been here with Son #1 this morning.

I definitely would not have gone for a long, refreshing walk.

I would have missed this beautiful morning.

We would have missed a bit of Dad and Son chat.

We would have missed the coffee at Mum and Dad's.

All in all, this dog sitting has got off to a good start.

The great thing about Bristol is that you can almost always see the countryside beyond.

Directly across the bridge are North Somerset, Leigh Woods and some great walking and mountain biking.

Further beyond are Dundry hill and the Mendips.

Oh, and what a great bridge. Not really Brunel's doing. Originally his design it was much altered by two other engineers and completed sometime after his death.

Only a few years ago, they rediscovered that the abutment that you can see on the far side was in fact hollow.

Bridge nerdism, I know. I shall stop.
