Adventure Walk - Homeward Bound

It started out as a simple walk down the lane. Then Saxon spotted a rabbit and he was off. I decided to go through the fields in the same direction in hope of finding him!
So, two fields later he turns up with tongue lolling and a daft grin. Little so & so!
Carried on,- this is one of our regular routes,- where there's two stiles to cross. But there are sheep in the first field, so can't go over the stiles.. Walked the other way to where someone has put a guard over the barbed wire and I clambered over there. But my trouser leg got caught on the barbed wire, and I couldn't get it off. Thought of a song at this point "stuck in the middle with you" !
After a lot of hopping and tugging got my trousers free with only a tiny tear
Down the bank to cross the stream into the next (last) field. Oh no! The stream is flooded and the rickety bridge under about a foot of water. What to do. Attempt to re clamber the barbed wire? Or risk the stream and deep mud?
Well the stream crossing won. 
Ergo, wet boots, socks and trousers, But at least my boots aren't muddy any more. 
And so back out onto the lane and on to Home. Phew
