Bank Holiday . . .

The last Bank Holiday before 'you know what'. I refuse to use the 'C Word' until at least the beginning of Advent.

I persuaded the family, or least those of them at home, that they really did want to go for a nice healthy walk as it was going to be such a beautiful day. To be fair they didn't really need much persuading.

We had a lovely walk around the Devil's Punchbowl at Hindhead, and managed not to get lost this time. The first time we tried it we ended up lost and spent ages trudging through heavy rain until we finally found our way back to the car - not a lot of fun. Now, we have a map!


We met this chap en route - highland cattle. (Can you refer to a single animal as cattle? I'm not sure of the singular of cattle?)

Number 1 son managed to put himself outside a very tasty-looking plate of sausages and mash afterwards and the Pater Familias and I also treated ourselves to a 'little light refreshment' at the Café.

We stopped at Ranmore Common on the way home for an ice cream and to admire the view. A lovely day all round and still home in time to do a few little jobs.
