A Nice Relaxing Walk !

After a very tiring session in the garden yesterday (and today with a very pressing need for social distancing !) Jorgie and I set off this morning on an extended walk.
Instead of following the river bank most of the way, I decided to go along the old canal path for a change. This route allows you to then cut back to the river through the fields.
The farmer had kindly erected a sign warning me to keep well away from livestock but I don't think these youngish cows had yet learnt to read.
I did deliberate for a minute whether it was sensible to take Jorgie in the field but the alternative  would have added  another 3 miles to my total.
Luckily it wasn't very far across but all the cows were so interested in Jorgie, that they were jostling with each other to get as close to us as possible. 
Also luckily, cows don't frighten me and, as is the case with most animals, if you don't show fear you can get by. (I wouldn’t have done this with adult cows with calves - I’m not that stupid)
The  1st extra  shows them all once we were the safe side of the gate.

Jorgie has decided that she loves to swim so walking along the river bank gave me several opportunities to let her go in. 2nd extra 

Day total 11.3 miles
Year total 404.6 miles
