Torridon life: walking and woofing


OK, so come on Gail, I'm ready.

Look this is the way to the front gate.

Why must you put on my lead before we exit the cottage garden?

Oh. Sheep.

Well at least I can bark at them. No?

Gail stop staring at the clouds. I'm sure it's not going to rain. We're not turning back anyway.

Uh oh. I am not going to cross this cattle grid on my own. I don't care if Hamish would have managed it. I want to be carried.

Thank you.

Great, so no sheep this side. You can take my lead off now.

BTW, why isn't it called a sheep grid?

Don't flap, I promise I'll stay close. We'll hear in plenty of time if a car's coming.

Stop! I could swear I spotted a frog right here.

Wow, that house has changed shape quite radically since we last walked past. What a huge window.

Oh yawn, Gail, I'm sure nobody cares that it now belongs to a former Labour cabinet minister.

Ah, I remember now, the path back through the trees is this way.

IF I'VE TOLD YOU ONCE I'VE TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES. DON'T TAKE PICTURES WHILE I'M HAVING A PEE.

One day I'll figure out how to get through this kissing gate by myself.

Hmm. A kissing gate. If only Addi were here...

Race you home Gail!

  3. You're getting very bossy Bertie - I suppose that Gail needs to know who is in charge. Hmmm, which former labour cabinet minister... AD?

  15. What an interesting conversation you had with ... Yourself! I'm sure there was no need for Gail to clip you on the lead, maybe you could have gone and rambled to the sheep, but what a very busy walk that was, you seemed to zoom through the hills!

  17. I feel there should be more than two pictures here? Bertie, i simply casnot imagine you would chase sheep! You only want a closer look right?
    Totally ok to chase the grouse though. I love chasing the seagulls!
