Out for a walk

Well I have been slacking on the blogging lately but I am cross with myself as I find this a really good way of keeping  a diary. I wish I had started it earlier really as so many things are really important and you think you will remember them, but you don't. Things which are good to look back on as a record of how far you have come and other things which would be good learning tools if you could only remember them!
Anyway, I haven't done loads with Alfie lately really as I have been really busy with working, but a couple of weeks ago we met Pete on the common and went for a walk out for a couple of hours. It was the second time we had been out there (first was on our own) but it was the first long walk we have done post accident.
It was lovely. Really nice weather, really peaceful on the common, nice to walk out with Pete and Bart, Alfie was good and really relaxed - could this be helped by the supplement he is on? He was really really good on the way back when Pete went a different way and Bart raced back to me - I had no lead, nothing and we were just coming up to the herd of cows with calves. Bart's idea of fun = bark at the cows until they get fed up and start moving then chase them and entice them into a full blown stampede.
I managed to pick Bart up under one arm and leading Alfie with the other hand we made our way around them. Both were good (apart from Alfie kept sniffing Bart and making him squirm) but I did get a funny look from one lady who suggested as I wasn't riding Alfie, maybe Bart should. It was too complicated to explain to her!!
Really enjoyed taking him out further and helped by going through Jo and Roger's farm then Sarah's to miss out the main bit of the road. Really relaxing.



But we've been out for HOURS now mum - and I'm STARVING
