I had another wander into the valley this evening with the beagle.
Monty raced about and got lots of exercise.
After settling down under the pines to make a campfire, I made a hot chocolate and had a chunk of cheddar cheese.
At one point I looked behind me, to see a rabbit scamper a few feet away from me into some underbrush.
Monty came snuffling by a minute later, tail wagging like crazy.
I was very warm in my clothing, a couple of wool sweaters and a couple pairs of pants, along with wool socks and a wool pea-coat wrapping me up - not to mention my new shearling hat.
The fire was a nice addition - made it very comfortable.
Cheers,
Mungo
