It was a bright,
sunny day today, which, you may have noticed by now, was the cue for
us to go for a big walk. The snowshoe trail is actually two loops,
one n top of the other like a flattened figure of eight, and today we
headed off on a different branch to see where it took us. After
walking through some lovely forest, we dropped downhill and came out
into fields dotted with farmhouses. I don't think we really intended
to walk the whole loop, but as we didn't really feel like turning
around and retracing our steps up the hill, we just kept on walking.
With the sun out, we
all started to get quite warm and began shedding layers as the trail
started to take us uphill again. However, we've had a little bit of
snow over the past few days and it has been cold enough for some of
it to stick around in the shady areas, and before long we were
putting the layers back on again as we crunched over some of that
snow.
Eventually we came
to a bit of the trail that we recognised and before too much longer
we were back home – about three hours after we set out. We had
clearly worn Bella out as she spent most of the rest of the day
crashed out on the couch.
