It was quite a nice day today with just a few showers.  Walked Misty along the marsh to Port Carlisle.  She was hoping to see her three collie friends but alas they weren't around.  She did however, get to say hello to another very small dog.  Lots of people around even though we were out quite early.  Easter always seems to be the start of people walking along Hadrian's Wall long distance footpath.  I don't envy them walking through some muddy fields when they get to my village.  Spent a couple of hours gardening this afternoon.  Pulling up lots of ivy and cutting back honeysuckle which is causing a problem with my stone wall.
