Today
we paid a return visit to Walter and Margaret Simpson’s lovely cottage in the
beautiful countryside above Kingskettle (see blog June 2014)
We
were warmly welcomed by our hosts and we had a lovely relaxing afternoon,
enjoying good company. We split into three groups, some to stay at the cottage
in front of the blazing fire, discussing various local topics with Walter One
small group set forth led by Margaret, on a 2 mile route through countryside
and wood while the slightly larger group headed off on a 4 mile walk
Now
walking up the side of the horses’ field at the start of the longer walk, one
of the walkers decided to try and entice one of the beautiful horses to come
over to us for a photo opportunity. Leaning forward she grasped the fence, yep
electric fence, and felt her feet tingle as the electric surge went through
her. Yes she’s now got curly hair!
Both
walking groups returned to the cottage at the same time and a lovely afternoon
tea of scones and goodies followed
Yes
you’ve guessed it, the rain stayed off until we were leaving and heading back
to the cars
Thanks
to all for a lovely afternoon of friendship
