Lyme park

Fresh air and big sky!
Much needed day with just us.
Cake, walk, lunch and walk!

We all slept well, did the usual morning stuff and then Mr KCNQ2Haiku and I had our Day Off!  We picked up coffee and cake and headed to Lyme Park, we walked all up past the house and towards the lantern and the woods, we climbed stiles and stomped through fields.  We agreed that seeing a large landscape is very restorative, something about seeing so much at the same time widens your perspective somehow!  We did have to skirt around some big Highland cow type things (I was a wimp and carried Leo so he didn't bark and cause us to be impaled..) and then there was one more bit of woodland before back to the car.  We dropped Leo home so he could have a snooze in his crate and Mr KCNQ2Haiku and I went to to lunch.  We're not adventurous, whenever we get the chance we go to the same pub and have the same food!  But it means we know we're going to enjoy it and we did :-D  Afterwards we picked Leo up and went to fetch Ben from school, we were early enough to have a walk in the local park too.  Leo tried to eat a grotty old flannel :-/  It was not the worst thing he had ingested during the day :-/  
Ben has been pretty calm again, so that's a massive win.  
And I've covered up Leo's holes in the garden with paving slabs so I'm hoping to dissuade him from digging but I suspect that it's more of a sticking plaster approach to the problem :-D  I need a new strategy but that is down as a 'tomorrow problem'!
Curry for tea so that's a nice end to a lovely day :-)
