Tales of the unexpected

Received an unexpected message last night from friends coming to stay in Northumberland for a long weekend. Would we like to meet up for a walk? It took no persuasion to ditch the 'to do' list for this afternoon, and enjoy a walk with Wendy and Lee in Detchant woods. Impossible to get them all to look at the camera at the same time, but at least Barney's obliging in this one!

We'd hoped to see some wildlife, but hadn't expected to see this - extra - laying flat out beside the track. A very large, hairy pig. It didn't stir, except to wiggle an ear, as we walked by.
