River Weaver And trent & Mersey Canal

Well first thing this morning was really miserable, rain ,rain and a bit more rain :( ...... But it is a bank holiday week-end  :)
But eventually the blue skies appear ,so we quickly put drinks and fruit into our rucksack and off we go.
So where are we heading today .... a walk along the river Weaver and Trent & Mersey  Canal I think.
We park on the grass verge along with others next to the Leigh Arms pub.
Our first friend of the day is a Vietnamese pot bellied pig,but lets keep some space  between us ...

It was a lovely walk along the river Weaver and we stopped and sat looking across the river to have a drink.Honey had a lovely run in the grass.

and in the mud !!!!

After all that fun we were starving ,so on the way home called for a Chinese take-a-way.. yummy..
So now it`s time to put our feet up :):)

                                                                                                                                                                                        

 

Cheshire Game & Country Fair

Hi and welcome to Honey`s blog....
It`s Bank Holiday week-end, and there is lots going on and places to visit,so today we decided to take a trip to the Cheshire Game & Country Fair at Tabley Nr Knutsford in Cheshire.
We had a lovely day out and dispite the bad weather forcast we managed to escape the rain.
We haven`t taken Honey to anything like this before and she was very excited ,looking around all the time ,interested to see all the other dogs and people ,enjoying all the fuss she recieved and sniffing for any food that may have been dropped !!! she is a typical Labrador and always thinks of her belly :):)
We were very pleased with her though because of all the strange noises which she has never experienced before like noisey chain saws and gun shots she never flinched or got frightened.

If you are interested in visiting the show it is on till Monday 27th August 2012

Damson in distress :)

On the itinerary for our walk today was more carrier bags !!!
We headed for a country walk where I knew there were Damson trees.Armed with bags we were all set to do some" scrumping ",but to no avail as the damsons were too high for me too reach ..
You may be wondering why ?? well I`ll tell you ,I have entered the local produce show and with no veg worth talking about in the garden for me to show I need a back-up plan.
Last year I entered home made chutney and much to my surprise I was awarded 2nd place and was extremely pleased :)So the back-up plan is Damson jam and chutney again .... wish me luck :)

Can`t trust the weather

Well the sun was shinning,but as we set off for todays walk there were stormy clouds not far away.
So feeling rather silly with shorts and sun top on I decided to take my umberella,didn`t feel silly when half way through our walk the heavens opened, felt quite smug actually :)
The weather has been typically british this summer and very unpredictable,but "keep on walking " ....

We are Family

As we were walking near to where Honey`s mum and brother live we thought we would call in for a visit.
The owners of Millie (Honey`s mum ) kept one of the male pups for themselves.When we pulled up they had visitors ... Oscar ,Honey`s brother ... so the family get together now consisted of Mum,daughter and two sons :):)

                                                         What a handsome family they are :)
It was a truely lovely surprise get together......

Let`s have a brew ...

It doesn`t matter how much clean water is in her bowl ,it always tastes better from the water feature :):)

It Ain`t Half Hot Mum

Phew .... with it being so hot today we decided to leave going out for a walk till early evening after tea.
It was still warm but much fresher and pleasant to walk.
Another regular dog walk not too far from home is to a manmade wood run by the Woodland Trust called "spud wood " so we headed there.
There is quite a large car park with a small bridge to walk over the Bridgewater canal and into the wood.There are numerous paths running around and inside the wooded area.It is ideal for walking along the canal towpath as well.
I was pleasantly surprised that there wasn`t a lot of others around being a cooler part of the day,we met two springer spaniels with thier owner and that was all,though we could hear play full barks echoing around.

Lymm Dam -local walk

We are very lucky to have some beautiful walks right on our door step.Today we are taking advantage of a lovely day and visiting a local beauty spot.The man-made Dam attracts lots of visitors and has a well maintained path which runs right the way round and is an excellent circular walk.It is very popular with dog walkers so can be very busy at certain times of the day.It is well stocked with fish and is popular with fishermen.
In the lower part of the Dam where there is no fishing allowed we could see very large Carp swimming around ,and a beautiful flash of electric blue as a King Fisher bird flew amongst the low branches of the tree lined banks.

Darling Buds of May & Vicar of Dibbley

On our walk today I bumped into our local vicar.Now I`m not one who goes to church every Sunday,just now and then ,but I do know our local church and vicar well.
I haven`t seen Father Micheal for a while, and he was eager to be introduced to Honey as he hadn`t seen her before,but I had to chuckle to myself as "Darling Buds of May" sprang into my mind, the scene where pop Larkin says he doesn`t worship in a dusty old church but out in the sunshine and beautiful countryside which is what I think ,and "Vicar of Dibbley" as to the service she held for the animals and to say praise for all our loving animals.
