Monday - walked round Parke in the morning, and wallowed round the Plantation in the afternoon. Very muddy everywhere. Went ringing in the evening and then to pub with Barry (Bob ill). Invited to Barry's for supper later in the week. Then went on mini-pub crawl to book at Cromwell and Riverside for eating at the weekend - and sampled the beer in each.
Tuesday - got up at 8. Sunny but cold morning. Went up on the moor where it was zero degrees and the ground was frozen solid. Should have worn boots rather than wellies. Goretex coat was excellent at keeping the cold out. Suki chewed the ice on the puddles and picked a large lump of ice out of a stream and chewed it. Weird. Went to trago and bought more bedding and a nice pull along cabin bag for Majorca trip next week. Also lots more sweets. Both took Suki out in the afternoon and went on newly laid railway track in Parke. Much cleaner and quicker but has lost a lot of its woodland character as it is rather wide and feels like a road. Popped in to see Mary afterwards.
