By the side of the Markie Burn

We could choose today either to get blown off the beach by the cold north wind or to wallow in mud alongside the Markie Burn. We chose the latter, the dogs always being partial to a good bit of glutinous mud! They did have the burn to wash most of it off just before getting back into the car but Bud kept hold of sufficient to warrant another bath as soon as we got through the door. It was though, a glorious walk with all the Autumn colours.
