Back to the old path!

Hello Woofers!

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

I don't know about you but Wednesday has always been a bit of a nothing day being half way through the week. Today we looked out the window and saw that the sun was creeping up to the horizon so we woofed Old Two Legs awake as there may be a sunrise.

By the time we got him all dressed and organised into his big jacket the sun had got up, had a bath and was heading off to work!

Still, we managed to run off some pictures of which the first one of the frozen gas stowage thingys looked all dramatic!

The second was taken as we headed around the old golf course and in fact is a picture of the Welsh Flag that was being ripped apart by the wind and slowly disintegrating!

 You can just see the Welsh Dragon with it's back end missing!

 Looking to the left we can see the Thames and the ships passing on their way up or down river. We saw the ferry heading off to the Continent on the early morning run.

 

 Our morning was spent woofing at the postman and anyone else passing the front of our house.

Eric and Wendy had fun playing chase and when they got too tired the fell asleep in the pile of shopping bags and doggy towels!

We did ask Eric and Wendy if they wanted to come out at lunchtime but they both decided that bed was a better option!

When we got down to the sea front, we spotted another ship passing. It amazes me of just how high they can stack those containers; makes you wonder how they see where they are going!

 By the way, that is Southend on Sea in the background!

We had a pleasant walk around the forest and picked up a couple of new sniffs. Holly pointed out that we haven't seen any rabbits of late, I mean, at one time we were always chasing rabbits but now they seem to stay underground. 

 Not a rabbit to be seen and where is the squirrel that supposed to be living here?

 So, that's it Wednesday has come and gone, maybe tomorrow we will see a rabbit or squirrel to get excited about!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

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.
