On our standard Saturday walk a few weeks ago, Liz found a gap in the towpath fence – her and Bobs went racing around a nearby field, loving every second of it, despite a football match taking place.
Yesterday we went the other way up the towpath to avoid the gap. Signs of the summer were taking place all around and there was much more boat movement along the cut. It was great to talk to some of the crews, feeling very jealous!!!
It started to rain and we didn’t have the dogs coats – so we hastened back to the car. Bec was in front of the dogs and sort of running to urge them on! All of a sudden, Liz looks up into the field opposite the canal and launches herself into the water – decides that was probably not a good idea and swims (she can swim and I reckon she has done this before) back to the bank where I pull her out!
Bit scary, but funny! The photos don’t do it justice, but at least we weren’t worried about the rain anymore!
