Furry Mama persuaded Calum to come on her walk with Minty Mutt! He's not the keenest walker in the world, but it's good to keep fit. Admittedly, both Calum and Baggy are aching rather after their hack out yesterday, but still, it's a surprisingly lovely day once again and Minty doesn't care anyway, he just wants to go out! Minty chose the walk past Assington Mill and the dormouse sanctuary then through Ager Fen today. Calum got as far as the dormouse sanctuary (which is quite a way) and decided to sit on the bench, so Furry Mama took Minty to Ager Fen so he could throw himself in the stream and get a drink. Of course Clever Bird had totally forgotten that it's a Bank Holiday, there were people and dogs everywhere! Minty and Furry Mama looped back round to the dormouse sanctuary bench and collapsed in a heap with Calum.
Clever Bird asked Cal the time, only to realise that The Domestic Goddess needed to be back at home to take the lamb out of the oven. Wah! As they walked back Furry Mama realised that the Long Horns are back for their annual grass munch. Clever Bird totally forgot about the lamb again as Creative Clara took photos of the babies.
Fortunately the lamb survived and is about to be demolished as a Bank Holiday roast lunch, although Furry Mama has to admit to feeling pretty bad eating lamb when the little critters are bouncing around in all the fields around here. But as Clever Bird said, "If she didn't, they wouldn't be bouncing around in the first place", well she kind of has a point, but still........
