Big long walk Sunday

Another sunny Sunday.

Went to Flushing, walked across the fields to Trelew (what a lot of lovely houses there are there).  Walked back to Flushing via Mylor Creek, the Fal River & Penryn River.

Had a bit of a disaster though………………………

Today I got stuck in a trough.  I LOVE troughs!  It was mega hot today and we were walking through fields with no water so obviously when I spotted a trough I had to jump in for a little cool down.  It was fabulous.  I swam around for ages.

And then do you know what happened?......................  Ann said, ‘Come on Molly, you’ve had a lovely cool down.  Let’s continue our walk.’  BUT do you know what?…………..  I couldn’t get out of the trough.  I tried & I tried & I tried but the trough was too deep and the sides were too steep and I just couldn’t pull myself up and over the edge.  Ann thought I was just refusing to come out so she said, ‘Molly, stop being so naughty.  I’m going to continue the walk.  If you want to stay in the trough for the rest of your life feel free.’  And she walked off and left me!  ................But I didn’t want to stay in the trough for the rest of my life?!!

Usually when Ann says stuff like that to me, I go racing after her and she tells me that I’m the bestest little collie in the whole wide world.  But I couldn’t go racing after her today because I was stuck in the trough.

Eventually Ann realised that I wasn’t going to go racing after her and she came back to see what I was doing.  Obviously I was still swimming around because the trough was deep and I couldn’t stand up in the water.  I was getting a bit tired but I still made an effort to get out of the trough so that Ann would see that I really was struggling.

Fortunately she realised I was well and truly imprisoned in the trough so she helped me out and got completely covered in green stinky water in the process.  Grrr!!

Fabulous walk this afternoon…………..  And will the traumatic experience of being stuck in a trough, put me off troughs for life???  I very much doubt it!!!
