It was a lovely sunny day today, and resolved not to spend all of it flopped on the couch eating chocolate. So, I took Neko for a good long walk.

Our path to the disused railroad tracks, and the bog.

Some curious locals.

Such a lovely day.

I took Neko off the lead: she is very good and always stays behind me. Until I turned around to go back and suddenly she found herself playing at pack leader. I didn’t let that go on for long.

Gorse in bloom, at the end of December. Go figure.

Beautiful colours in the dead bracken.

A beautiful mess of a stone wall, dead trees and a little bridge in the distance.

More curious locals – they look like twins! Same white cowlick (sorry, I had to say it). They didn’t care about me, just Neko.

The sun is so low on the horizon this time of year. This was about 3:30 or so.

Hurry up, Neko! No, you can’t go in the field with the cows. Trust me on this one.

She’s not as innocent as she looks!
