Otley Chevin

Mia and Mika

This morning we took a trip to Otley Chevin. Some exercise for us, and also for poor Mika who’s been cowering in a corner since Friday due to a lethal combination of pheasant shooting by day and fireworks by night. Mia loved it, particularly the leaves and acorns, while Mika was more keen on 10 foot long sticks, which as usual she swished around in a dangerous manner.

This afternoon I’ve been peeling apples for yet another massive crumble-making session. The garden is still full of apples, both in the trees and all over the ground. Walking out in the dark to sort the horse out inevitably involves standing on them and inadventantly kicking them around. Sadly there are only cookers left – all the eaters were gone yonks ago.
