Weekly Walk
// June 13th, 2004 // Gossip
We’ve taken to driving the Oldies, Sandy, Brit, Grammy & Emmy, plus Bel to Croxley Moor once a week for a change of scene on their walk. The Moor lies between Watford & Rickmansworth and is really quite pretty. The River & Canal run through one side of it and another is bordered by an old disused railway line. There is a flat patch in the middle where the local aviators fly their model aircraft, at certain hours only.
On the river the Swan has 9!! cygnets who have all survived a number of weeks now so are doing very well, they watch our passing warily with the Male spreading his wings and hissing.
The only problem is the cowpats, and occassionally the cows. A couple of weeks ago Brit actually tripped into a cowpat & came out with it all over her head and ears. But she Em & Bel are nightmares for having a sly shoulder roll if possible. Two weeks ago the cows were actually there when we arrived, they watched us with interest then settled back to their grazing.
Today there weren’t any fisherman or ducks on the river so the girls had a paddle and Bel had a swish – she still can’t swim!
