We’ve just come back from 2 weeks away and I still haven’t walked the dogs….  its been quite a while since I’ve been so long away from nature and I feel so out of touch with the weather.  I feel as though the autumn has passed me by as the last time I was out the leaves were still on the trees and now they’re looking stark against the landscape.  I’ve lost track of how muddy the paths are, how dark it is in the mornings when I take the dogs out for their first walk and I have no idea what time it gets dark at night…. 

In other words I need my walking fix and it better be sooner rather than later!  Knowing my luck it’ll be raining when we go out tomorrow morning - it’ll be good to feel the rain against my face, but I would rather give drying off the dogs a miss!
