Trial and Error

Lost

I met up with Martie and our various dogs this afternoon for a walk round what I believe is called Stag Wood and, fittingly, we met at the Deers Hut pub (outside not in). Just as we got there it started to snow so we walked in a blizzard and, of course, we were chatting and the upshot of it is...we got lost :/ We've both been lost before and, as we were both to remark, although it was snowing and nobody knew where we were, a) it was still light, b) we weren't alone, and c) we had a phone signal.

We tried a few different directions, came across some isolated houses and found nobody at home in any of them to ask for our bearings, and then phoned Son1 and got him to look up one of the houses on Google maps (it came up as being in America) :/

Eventually we came across a sunken lane and followed it for a while, figuring it had to lead somewhere. A while later a German Shepherd dog appeared out of the undergrowth and had a play with our increasingly muddy dogs. So we followed him back to his owner and asked her for directions. It turns out our cars were just a few hundred yards along an adjacent path in the direction we were going...

Anyway, this is gorgeous Toby in full flight.
