Day out

Gym ✔️

A beautiful day, so after gym, and breakfast with a quiet dog out in the front garden, we popped to our favourite day out - Dalkeith Country Park. It's got everything - lots of lovely walks of all lengths, cafe and restaurant, lots of very nice shops and the most delicious ice cream.

We did the long walk through the old trees, we know it well, and so we were ready to put Archie on his lead before we reached the pond full of stinky black mud, which he loves.

I set off at a brisk pace, knees working well, but after a while I got very tired and we had to sit down a couple of times. Archie knows where the path down to the river is, about half way, and he rushed down and plunged in, up to his oxters, and just stood there, blissfully cooling himself.

Back at Restoration Yard, JR had a quick shifty round the shops, Archie and I waited in the yard, which was full of people and dogs. We bumped into friends, too.

On the way home we passed Dobbies, so just had to pop in to get more plants for the garden.

What a great day out! Check out the extras. And he wasn’t sick in the car!
