Field walking

Getting away from the roads and terrified pedestrians it's great to let Rocky off lead. He sprints off and then stops to check we're still coming.

Things you see when walking

The bike's been put to one side for a bit. Thanks to Rocky I pulled some muscles in my shoulders (big dogs can pull hard) and just could not cycle a result. I have also lost my gel saddle cover and those long bike rides need gel!

So we've been walking a lot and while out today I thought to myself, dog walkers see a lot more about their local communities than those whizzing around in their cars going to same places all the time. Passing by this house today I thought to myself, how sad and what a waste. 3 years ago I first noticed this house on the market with half a dozen agents' board nailed to the front. Back then that driveway was level and clear, the bricks I swear were brighter and cleaner looking. The grass to the sides was mowed and the shrubbery in check. 3 years later the drive's fallen into disrepair, the garden's gone wild and someone must have lost value. I guess they have their reasons but a house like that must have generated interest for a sale - just now sale happened.
