Back to Ashenbank Forest

 Hello Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here.

Now, after the run around Jeskyns Farm we got to thinking about the places we used to take when we were puppies and one of them was Ashenbank Forest. We used to look forward to going there 'cos the squirrels were great to chase after and then there was the foxes and rabbits!

It was great fun hunting them and then there was the muddy puddles!

Sooooooper!

So, this morning, before our normal time to go out, we started on Old Two Legs around ten thirty, you know, woofing and jumping up and hitting the back of his chair!

The big trees looked the same but there were loads of trees that had grown up since we were last there!

Just look at the leaves on the paths, mind you, they were hiding the muddy bits!

The pond is still there all quaggy looking around the edges, mind you it seems that it still dries up in the summer time!

We remember there were loads of fungi but it seems that they were either still waiting to grow or have finished growing and had returned to the earth to get ready for next year.


Most of the trees had dropped their leaves but there were a few that were still hanging on but they look like they have only a week or two!


I enjoyed the walk looking out for squirrels and climbing onto the trees but today we seem have missed them today.

Holly joined in the climb and at one point was running along fallen trees that we remember from our puppy days!

We met up with a woofer who was tripping around the muddy bits hidden under the leaves.

It wasn't too long before we came to and end of the path where there was a poo bin so OTL could off load our poo bags!

The Last Poo Bin!

Up here, turn right and down to the gate!

Just before the gate we saw a load of old pumpkins that at one time they may have had candles inside!


So, there we are, a return to our old walks. It will be great when the winter comes and the snow is all over the place and then there is Spring Time as well!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
