Dogs, water and mud

We have fallen in love with the prettiest house in a village just outside Eastbourne. Sadly, we have not sold ours yet so our romance is likely to come to nothing. I am starting to go down the path of considering ridiculous ideas like taking on a bridging loan sot I need someone to pull me back sharply.
This picture is of one of the local walks. It would have been good if the ISO hadn't defaulted to 1000. I do find that setting the ISO to automatic can be a bit of an inconvenience as the Nikon seems to love pushing it up to the maximum I set in the range.
I am, though, so pleased to have my camera working again. My friend took the battery to Clockhouse Cameras in Brighton who kindly charged it for me. It is the most wonderful camera shop.
