Keith and Sophie were planning a two hour walk so I went with them, and I really enjoyed myself! We went over the fields behind our house, down to the nature reserve and up to the bridleway that crosses one of our country roads. From there we dropped down into the village and called to see a small herd of alpacas before heading home. It was just over five miles and it was wonderful to be out and enjoying the countryside as I hadn't been for a good walk for ages.
The sky was a clear blue at first but it did cloud over towards the middle of our walk.
We tried to get the alpacas to come over to us and although they did get very close, they kept a distance, despite Sophie handing them some grass! She obviously hasn't the same power over alpacas as she does over cows! They were such a strange sight to see in the English countryside - a weird mix of goat/sheep and black giraffe!
Back home we all had showers and then popped to Mum and Dad's to take them the Sunday newspaper. We were treated to a coffee and chocolate biscuits and then it was home to sit in the garden and soak up the sun, that had made a reappearance!
