‘What day is it?’ asked Pooh.
‘It’s today,’ squeaked Piglet.
‘My favourite day,’ said Pooh.
So, deciding today was a great day and because we were close to Ashdown Forest (the inspiration for the adventures of Winnie the Pooh,) we set off on what was to be a VERY muddy walk! No gloves or hat today, the sun had some warmth to it and there was no wind. We only saw 2 other people on the whole route, but we were accompanied by the sound of woodpeckers and jays in the wood and the squelch of mud and the cracking of ice underfoot as we negotiated frozen puddles and waterlogged fields.
After our efforts, we called in at the Anchor Inn where we had parked. There were as many dogs as there were people, including a black Labrador puppy called Logan that wanted to make friends with everyone!
It was such a beautiful day, filled with calmness and lots of gratitude (as well as the MUD!) After a wash for Poppy, my boots and socks, it was time for a cuppa and to plan tomorrow’s adventure…
