Had a lovely walk yesterday...

....over at Arlington Court.  We ventured through the Wilderness and I found a fun platform to climb...

 and then dad had to go one step further

and walk the rope bridge

(just because he knew I couldn't do that because of my paws)

but

Well Done

Dad

I had a lovely walk yesterday....

....at Arlington Court the National Trust place.  Lots of walks there for me and, of course, I took my humans along too. 

Then we came upon some seats made out of an old tree...

My first thought was

PICNIC!

 but alas No....

So I sat there instead and tried to look well behaved!

OF COURSE I'M GOOD - I'M VERY VERY GOOD.

The play carriage at Arlington Court

Is enjoyed

by

adults and children

and

ME

Went for a lovely walk today....

....around Arlington Court estate.

Mum had her camera ready and guess what we saw...

here's a close up -

DEER

and I persuaded dad to take me down to the river for a drink...

although clambering back up was a little more difficult...

Looks like some fencing needs repair here and there!

The ewes and lambs were fine, they were in a different field...

This sheep watched us.  I wasn't going anywhere near though,

it had horns!!!!

 ~ That was a great walk ~

I've taken up carriage driving...

....and decided to sit on the play carriage at Arlington Court recently, 

although I was a little shy to start with...

I didn't want to leave, but my horse seemed a little

static!

My friend Buddy

Here's my little friend Buddy...a Jack Russell/Dachshund cross.....he is about 9 months old and doesn't seem to mind that I am much older and bigger than him...he still wants to play.







Buddy lives at Arlington Court, where mum volunteers with the stables/carriage driving, so if I go over for a lovely walk round with dad, whilst mum is working, I then end up meeting Buddy, who is always pleased to see me.


and mum enjoys sketching us....

Hopefully mum will do some more sketches and videos 

of us having fun soon.

The deep dark wood

I took my humans for a walk the other day.....to Arlington Court and into the deep dark wood

where I stopped to have a refreshing drink from a stream

although I couldn't quite understand why this old tree was fenced off....

but mum took a photo of it anyway and also a notice that explained

 something about it

and mum got very excited about all the different shades of green!

and I took Dad into the bird hide again....(you may recall I did that at the end of August)

but anyway I wanted to take another look

where I had heard a lot of quacking going on.....and saw some ducks!!
Wow, who needs a bird hide to see them -

 it seems to keep the humans happy though - no, not my humans, but some other humans who came along

complete with binoculars and settled down to watch out for rare and unusual birds.....
although

we saw them later getting into their car, so I guess the rare and unusual birds were somewhere else that day

but on the other hand we did spy this rare and unusual bird
eating a snake

and talking of eating, we then went home for tea.
