Sleet and mud

I walked with a friend today. It was mostly dry, if rather squelchy underfoot. But at this point we were caught by a wintry shower, though the white stuff doesn’t seem to show on the photo. Earlier we had an annoying encounter with an out of control puppy dog that was off the lead, out of sight of its owner and leaping up all over us. We got the classic ‘don’t worry, he’s only being friendly’. Tempting to bill the owner for cleaning.
