“The road” is open again. It had been closed for a long time as half of it fell down the bank.  They seem to have fixed it with a bit of glorified chicken wire and what looks like black plastic sheeting although I suspect there is more to it than that given how much repairs cost.  They have also put some very shiny crash barriers up.  The great thing about this re-opening is that it puts one of my favourite riverside walks back on the menu.  I like to sniff out bunny trails, collie likes to play in the water and Harrier likes to scamper.  Mum likes to take in the ambience of being near water and looking for inspiration for upcoming projects or colour combinations.  Aunty Biscuit is happy as it makes visiting relatives and buying malt extract easier.  To celebrate Mum bought the horses some wormer each, I don't think they were that impressed with it though judging by the amount she came back wearing.
