So we decided to stay here a bit longer. One reason is that although our car is working it is making some worrying noises and losing power and so John is concerned it won't last much longer. So he has been car hunting this week as lots of car dealerships around this area. Decided it was best to find a replacement now whilst we have a car to go and view them! So whilst John has been out and about, I have been on some really long walks with Dex, exploring the footpaths. I have the ordinance survey app on my phone so in theory I shouldn't get too lost! We've had fun traipsing around the countryside!
Yesterday we discovered a pond in the middle of a field and Dex had a lovely swim. I got stuck in a ditch (thought I could jump across but clearly my mountain goat days are over!) Scrambled out on my hands and knees (oh so graceful) and had to literally climb through a hedge when we misjudged the path and got trapped in a field!
Today we went across fields towards the village of Shutlanger. Some fields had sheep in so Dex had to be on the lead but there were enough other open fields for him to roam free in. It was lovely to see the Autumn colours.
The footpath led us back past the parish church called At Mary the virgin in Stoke Bruerne.
I loved the colours in this garden on our way back to the canal. Looks like it's going to be a good year for holly!
