Grasping the Nettle

Annie spent this morning replanting the pots out the front of our house with plants we bought yesterday. They look lovely.

This evening we decided to have a walk near us. What should have been a gentle route turned into a bit of an adventure. In a number of places nettles covered the footpaths and poor Annie was in her shorts. Clear of the nettles, we were rounded on by a friendly herd of cows. They weren't threatening but they completely barricaded us against a fence in for few minutes. 3 miles became 5 miles as we had to double back as we got near to the car as the nettles were too thick! Back to the car before sunset thankfully. A few more photos here.
