Who's going to tire first?


Recommended Posts

The first really warm day of Spring and the travel restrictions relating to the virus lockdown have been relaxed, so I took Peggy for a walk up on Dartmoor. But who was going to have to sit down first: 13 1/2 year old Peggy or me with an achilles tendon injury that won't go away any better than getting older will?

Let's just say it wasn't Peggy :gramps

Did Peggy know it was a competition?  

Even though you had to sit down, I hope you enjoyed the walk as much as it looks like Peggy did.

Looks like one of Peggy's ears gave in first :lol

You were lucky to hit the sweet spot between the travel restrictions being lifted and the littering hoards descending over the Easter weekend.

Yes, Peggy's 'lop ear' is one of her special features, but it can fly straight like the other one, all it needs is a cat or squirrel to appear.  Apparently we're going back to winter over the Easter weekend, so visitors to the Dartmoor National Park probably won't be quite so numerous. We are more than happy to share the moor with them though as long as they follow the country commonsense code.  Definitely no open fires and cheap tinfoil barbecues, or the dry vegetation will all go up in flames at this time of year.

We had that in the local area last year - a week of fire brigades from all over fighting a fire that ravaged heathland and killed countless numbers of rare and protected wildlife.

Gorgeous girl in a beautiful spot on a nice day. Who needs to keep moving?

Ivy, almost 13 1/2, would be right with Peggy. :beatheart
