Most Saturday afternoons the dogs and I walk across the golf course and along two sides of a big square field to reach the farm shop, where I buy eggs for Sunday breakfast and top up on good local vegetables.
Today's foray was special because it the first decent walk we have had together for almost two weeks. Both the dogs have been unwell, with an unidentified stomach bug which put poor little Ted in the Hospital for Small Animals, which is part of The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies. He was there for three nights following a small op to see if there was anything stuck in his system, which hadn't been picked up by two separate x-rays. He has really been through the mill (and so have we) but thankfully, he is almost back to normal, apart from being more than picky about what he will eat. But he is now eating a little, after ten days of refusing anything and everything. So hooray for that!
We walked in lovely, almost warm, sunshine. No snowdrifts here, just a light sprinkling of the white stuff left over from last night. The ponds across the golf course are all frozen solid, and air so clear that the views north west to the snowy hills of Perthshire and north, towards the sea, were glorious.
