And breathe

I do love my walks over the common: they keep me sane. I'm going to miss the post-work ones when the evenings draw in soon. It was gorgeous over there today - and cow-free. I've realised now that the herdsman must have been rounding them up the other day to take them to their winter base. I'm missing seeing them around but, on the other hand, it's nice to be able to walk there without the constant fear of bovine peril.

Oh and while we were there someone else asked me if Basil was a puppy. This is doing wonders for his ego!
