Mucky Pup

He brought half the field home with him and needed a good soapy wash of his undercarriage before he was allowed back into polite society.

I was up early with a blocked nose and a banging headache and had watched the football highlights and a very ropy Dracula film before anyone else was awake. By noon I'd also watched the final Harry Potter instalment, caught up on Gogglebox and put a Quorn Chilli on the cooker. And I was still in my PJs.

A cold, muddy walk through the fields soon shook me up. As did the chilli and I even stretched to making my own guacamole which is a first, won't be the last.
