Update

As I am now able to access the blogs just thought I would show some pictures of our travels this year. Most seem to be water/mud based but that's how it is with Ruby. If there is water or mud she finds it!

She got the cream pot out of the rubbish bag and it took almost an hour to get her to give it up. At least it was clean when i got it back!

Just testing

Wales 2013

 Here are some photos recording my walks and other memorable moments with Ruby on our recent holiday in Wales.
We walked on coastal paths, river banks, lanes, farmland, mountains etc etc. A total of 102 miles.
We saw Ospreys, lots of sea birds, ravens but no otters although we did see lots of otter footprints.
The last photo is a very wet Ruby in the back of Jim's car after our last walk. I think she knew that was the end of our holiday.
Benfleet is going to be very boring after our adventures in Wales!!

Marsh Baldon Oxfordshire

Early starts were the order of the day on this trip. It seems that the farmers are leaving a wide strip between the crops and hedges which makes walking very easy. We came across a significant barn fire which was pretty spectacular. Paths through the fields had been maintained and often all that could be seen of Ruby was her tail. A very beautiful part of the country.

Beautiful old oak trees on our walk of 6 miles and Ruby pretending to be a sheepdog.

Ruby's first experience of the great outdoors was our holiday in Wales with Kath and Jim.
