Who watched the film Halloween last night, we did and I fell asleep after the first 10 min, I bet that in it's time it was really scary, the thing I liked about it was the music, it was excellent! Turned really cold last night and this morning, don't know how people live without central heating, I think it's one of the best inventions ever.
This time last week we were still doing our mammoth walks . We were meant to go out for a stroll before lunch and it turned into a 6 mile assault course. We had previously found a little path that followed a river and on the map it was shown as a footpath, so we decided to investigate. We got to a point where the track had ended and we just had to make it up on our own. I wasn't convinced that we were going the right way, this led to problems, plus we saw another dead sheep, this one had been waterlogged and it was just lying in the river. After trekking through marshes and over mountains we eventually got to the highest point. it was a very difficult climb physically, you really have to force yourself to go on sometimes, it's just sheer determination, your body and mind keeps telling you it's enough, but something makes you continue. Still, the views were rewarding enough. On the way back we saw another track on the other side of the river, like the gallant explorers we are we decided to cross the river, that was an experience as well, I'm not afraid of water at all, but I really didn't fancy getting wet, eventually we made it over. After about 5 minutes of walking the track disappeared again and all we could do was meander, exhausted in the general direction from which we came. Needn't have worried though because eventually we came out on a footpath that ran just behind our cottage. It was actually too late to do anything else, but it was lovely to have a good old English cup of tea! See you tomorrow everyone.
