Can’t see the wood….

…for the trees!

The Ards Man and I set off for a long (ish) walk this afternoon, intending to wander along Ploughman’s Hill at Mountstewart. We clomped in our wellies along this path, past some resting cows (one standing up with its tail at that funny angle where you know it’s having a wee) and along a more open lane. We were stymied by a closed gate and red tape across our path. Apparently some trees had fallen across power lines so there was no access to the Ploughman’s route.

So we ended up with only half the steps we’d expected to make. On the up side I noticed lots of lovely lichen on branches as we retraced our steps back to the car. One bit of excitement happened when I tried to wash my wellies in the pond and got one foot extremely well bogged down. A bit of frantic tugging got it free again. Phew!

My life is a wild ride.
