MWNN is managing the road to my recovery. Throughout the last three weeks he's been 'chief cook and bottle washer' (as well as washer-toad, nurse, and butler) in the house. Now that I'm no longer sleeping most of the day, he's scheduling in some exercise (weather permitting).
Monday's trip was a little further afield than usual. He drove me to Pryor's Wood (renowned for its display of bluebells in Spring.) It was quite cloudy and I found the wood a little dark and foreboding. The sound of 'wind in the willows' brought 'the wild wood' to mind.
Ron enjoyed the 15 minute stroll. He explored and followed lots of interesting scent trails while marking numerous trees so that he could lead us to the car when we turned back. He met a young labrador who was 'on lead' to stop him doing what Ron had just done - splashing through muddy puddles.
The one disappointment of the outing was the sight of the large clearing (a natural hollow) being used as a rubbish dump.
