I must admit that I hadn't fancied doing the walk when I knew it was so cold, I'm getting softer as I get older, but I soon warmed up once I got going.

I love the idea of 'Bark in the Park', you wonder who makes up these names, it's brilliant! I can't remember if I've told you before - my parents had a King Charles called Oliver. Archie is a good character walking happily. Oliver would run off home if he'd had enough, quite worrying at the time. Later you'd find him waiting on the door stop. He had stomach issues and was underweight, so was mistaken regularly as a puppy. We have lots of snow here in Lincolnshire too, teen 1 and 2 are off school and college today and Tomorrow.
