When I was walking up the lane I noticed a set of large wellington boot foot prints, that were spaced far apart, and started to walk inside the prints, copying the stride!
Now, I am sure that all of us have done similar childish "games" when alone (haven't we???), but I think I got a little carried away, as I increased my speed (and my gait) and effectively "goose stepped" up the lane!
By the time I had marched 100 yards, I must have resembled a Nazi storm trouper, (I was listening to "Ride of the Valkyries" on Classic Fm which didn't help) and so engrossed I was in getting my foot work right, I hadn't noticed a car creeping up behind me with 2 women in it. Both were laughing at me, and waved gaily as they passed. I am such a tit sometimes!

I gently cradled Susan under my coat, then set her up in a warm pet carrier in the field shed. She ate a little of the mashed egg I had offered her, but looked dreadfully shocked.If Halleh doesn't realise that he is a duck very soon, he will have to go!.
Due to the long periodr of frigid temps, we lost a chicken hen last night, Mike assumed she froze to death. I hope your weather clears up some.
ReplyDeletechickens run on very high blood pressures so it is common for them to suffer from cardiac events and strokes too!!!
ReplyDeleteYour village is lovely with the snow!! I would rather have the snow than the cold we're having!! Stay warm and enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteOh dear. Poor Susan. What a confused duck little Halleh is.
ReplyDeleteYou look like a sly little boy in that photo John!! Snow jumping is a fun game...even for the older boys. haha.
