Titter Hill Update

Managed to teeter down titter hill today.

There is a tree nursery partway down and I was watching a Roe Deer in their meadow. It saw us after a while and ran off, jumping effortlesslly over the high fence.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of watching three buzzards by the nursery meadow. I am convinced that two older ones were teaching a young one to hunt.

This is a great place to live.

I was over ambitious trying to walk back up Chapel bank and had to ask Sara to get me in the car. It is a jolly steep hill (14%). Poppy was worse than me. I think she got her paw stung or bruised it on a stone. Whatever we had a lot of sorrowful posing with her paw in the air waiting to be picked up. Remember the victorian print of the Sheltie dog by the coal fire?
Apparently she is now fit again and has been chasing rabbits in Rocky's field. Rabbit lovers do not worry. I have more chance than she has of catching a rabbit and I have no chance at all.
