Enjoying the view (Day 1404)

By the time I got round to taking the woofers up the hill this morning, the wind had dropped a fair bit, and the rain had stopped.
There was time at home to fill up with coffee before my beautiful wife took me across to Stromness for a ride out on the horses. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride, a bit along the shore, then into Stromness for a wander along the street (extra). We managed a good bit of trotting and cantering and I wasn't completely terrified this time. I was much more comfortable with the cantering today, mainly because Billy wasn't sticking his nose on the floor before taking off. All in all we covered 6 miles today, which is a decent enough ride out.
Back at home we had a quick lunch then took the woofers to Lyde for a wander. Whilst walking along the road there, a woman in a car stopped to tell us we should have the dogs on leads because, at this time of the year, there are pregnant sheep around. I politely pointed out that there were no sheep within sight, and that we walk there because there are no sheep. I suspect she only spoke to us because the dogs are fairly large.
We returned home (without seeing any sheep) in time to settle down to watch the rugby.
