We had a lovely walk (in the dry!) through a number of horse fields and back along the canal. In each of the 4 fields that were home to horses, the horses raced towards us and then followed us to the stile by which we exited the field. There was a split of opinion as to the reason for the horses being so interested in us. Some thought it was Tim being particularly attractive to horses, whereas others believed it was the polo mints in Jean's rucksack. Whichever was the case, they certainly raced over to us, which was actually quite disconcerting when three young horses charged down quite a steep hill directly at us. On a more tranquil note, we also saw a heron and a mallard mum with eleven chicks enjoying the evening peace on the canal. In true MNTV social tradition, we ended up at the pub for some well-earned refreshment. It was all so enjoyable, I think I'll do another walk in August!
