So good they named it twice....and such a stonkingly beautiful day we made two forays: up into the woods in the early afternoon under a brilliant sky, an almost warm sun and a chill breeze that was invigorating and made you think you could walk for ever......even old dog skipped along a little and played with a stick for a while.

However, she `d had it by the time the evening beckoned us out again  (though she would have wearily accompanied us if she`d seen us go) so younger dog and I snuck out  to catch the last of the day around the bounds, a few clouds drifting in but still plenty of clear sky, dark silhouettes, twinkling lights just emerging across the hillsides in the distance and the first lone star - Venus? - hanging to the south. Magic.
