Better Weather

With the weather drying up I thought it was time to walk across 'Hazel's Field' again. This is a couple of meadows that are owned by someone who lives in London and the meadows are reputed to be the best wild flower meadows in the area. There are a few bullocks in the meadows - it appears you need them to maximise the wild flowers. Best to keep well away as Poppy is inclined to bark at them and they do not like it. It was a lot drier but there is still a swamp across the middle. Anyway I persevered but had forgotten that I would have to climb over a fence at the end. Not really up to climbing but had a go rather then turn back. Doing OK until I got my foot caught in some barbed wired. I go a right purler, bang my head on the bank and end up in a ditch full of nettles. The pain of the nettles distracts me fom the headache but I still prefer paracetamol. Luckily no-one around to see my disarray. Cimb out of the ditch to find that Poppy has gone to watch the cow committee have their breakfast. This is always a very exciting event. The farmer shouts for them and then they gallop from all corners of the field with lots of excited bellowing - clearly much more interesting than me wallowing in a ditch.

Get home to find that I have lost my spectacles - presumably in the ditch.
