Or unplugging from screens altogether…

It was wet and muddy and I was with my Mum so we didn’t actually go that far, a couple of miles. But good to get up the hill again. My next door neighbours are ill so I took their dog (Maggie’s mum) with us and they had a great time running around. Dog pics too big to upload apparently. Having the woods right on the doorstep is something I will really miss if …
