We've had a eureka moment! We've conquered the darkness. Well kind of.
On Saturday afternoon we paid a call to an outdoor clothing store in town. The mission: to buy head torches. Out we came feeling rather happy with our purchases at a bargain (buy one get one free).
Yesterday evening we felt a little foolish as we set off in the light, without torches, but came unstook as darkness descended and Sally went AWOL. She dummied me at the edge of the woods, crossed the road, ran into more woodland then chased Tony down the road as he turned the car around. We ended up in a sticky situation and had to stop another car to get Sally into ours. Apologies all round. AHHH!!!
Tonight, however we were prepared. We headed off in the dark with head torches firmly in place and waterproofed up to our eye balls, looking like a couple of Mysterons from an episode of Captain Scarlet. A bit silly really. Within minutes we got into the woods and reaped the benefits of our bargain buys. Like intrepid explorers we boldly went where no other sane villager dared to go. Sally seemed to enjoy staying in the torch light too so stayed pretty close the whole walk. Its great to realise that the dark wet nights don't mean an end to our exercise. Maybe we won't turn to jelly over winter this year. That would make a refreshing change.
