Helen will be so proud of me. I spent the morning walking, walking and walking!!

I had the best sleep. All night until 6.30am.

As usual… facing a weekend with no plans, I’m never quite sure what to do with myself.

I got up after 7 and put a washing on and decided to get out with some of the many dogs, first thing 😂😂

The torrential rain has stopped but left a low lying fog.

It was so peaceful, so still and so calm…. Not a breath and barely a noise apart from birds tweeting.

We’ve all been a bit depressed by the weather recently and yet this morning, it felt really lovely, very misty and mysterious. I had a really lovely walk.

Huge puddles.

Bhru checking out the high burn… it’s flowing fast after all the rain recently.

They went in to play!

I say that and Freya always sits on the bank!

On the way back I played with some reflections in puddles. This one wasn’t the best…

Like the spooky tree reflection.

When I got home I decided to take Calaidh out for a LONG walk.

We went through Spiers School Grounds. It’s beautiful but very wet.

These wee daffies were lovely….

Some of them flattened by the rain.

It really feels like everything is starting to grow now.

How random is this?!?! A road sign in the middle of a field near Kilbirnie Loch? I stood for a while trying to figure out where the road might have been? Hope some of the locals can tell me why this is here?!?

Calaidh thinks she can take on this branch!!

Calaidh is living her best life.

By this time it’s been raining for a while but I’m loving being out in it.

She loves a wee pose does our Cal!!

Here’s the random road sign on the way back… so weird!

Calaidh loves a paddle!

Not sure this does the rain justice…. But it was heavy by the time we headed home.

Someone needed a shower!

It’s the first good wash she’s had in a long time and she is super fluffy now!!

I’ve walked 11.37 miles today and I’m feeling it. I had such a lovely morning though… out in the rain, appreciating the beauty in the mist. It felt very good to be alive.

When Craig came home from work we headed to Mocha Jak’s for a bite of lunch. I had Honey and Walnut avocado stack.

I gave Craig the fried egg but I did have the halloumi. I’ve been almost fully vegan this week, it’s not through choice but I just don’t fancy meat.

I may also have had an oat milk hot chocolate (with cream yup I get the irony!) but I felt it was well deserved after my 11 miles today.

It was really very lovely.

I’ve been home since 3.30 and all of a sudden it’s 5.40?! Time really disappears when I write this blog.

I am really tired but it’s been a great day.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
