The mud is getting to me - even with Wellies yesterday, I could barely walk in places. I passed a family walking and there was a little boy (3-4 years old?) screaming his head off because he'd fallen in the mud and was covered in the stuff, yet his family was still trying to get him down the path to the beach. I guess that's the training you need here in the UK to deal?

I'm thinking Carbon and I may have a day in town today if it's not chucking down. Pavement is sounding REALLY good right now!

Me too. Every day I think it can’t get any worse but it does. I now have a really bad back (like I used to have years ago but got sorted) from muddy walks and cleaning off a muddy dog. Shame really as I am enjoying my walks with Red and we have fun but I have had enough of the mud

Same here , re the mud, its horrible . The forest trails I walk are bridle paths so horses use them, resulting in a foul mix of mud and . I`ve pulled a muscle in my right leg , just with having to pick my way through it all and slipping x

Hope you can give your leg a rest today.

Yeah, yesterday I realised that I'd walked for 1,5 hours along my favorite bit of the coastal path (Mother Ivey Bay) and had barely even noticed the scenery, which is spectacular. Too busy watching each step in the muck (mud + cow poo + sheep poo). No fun really for Carbon as I have to use his harness nearly the whole time for balance so he's in work mode. I'd been avoiding the beach as that's no fun for him either, as I can't let him off lead.

But no matter, I'm really lucky that there are a lot of options nearby. Padstow village has quite a few paved paths to enjoy, so I'll just put on my mask and go for it. Carbon won't be off lead but he'll enjoy seeing the other dogs and people.

Just cold wet slushy stuff for us making even more mud. The ground is absolutely saturated.

Snow cleaner than mud

Easterly wind blowing here, so much better than that mild drizzly weather we had earlier in the week. The skies quite dull and overcast now, I'm wondering whether snow is on the way for us.

So muddy and cold here today. I had to put Harley on lead at stages to help me as it was so sloppy. I love snow and wish it would snow rather than rain.

Two mornings in a row we've woken to this much snow on the stairs. Enough already!!

What greeted me this morning:


At least it will be sunny....

I can assure you that there is not one speck of mud to be found.

 

[Selina27]

Oooo h @Lisa!!

 

[jazzmynn]

@Lisa Yikes!! Please please please don’t send it our way.

@Lisa Yikes!! Please please please don’t send it our way.

Well I don’t exactly want to keep it...

I wouldn't have thought hooman's could survive cold like that! The difference between your temps and ours yesterday was 68 degrees. It blows the mind really.

Today is much cooler though, only 24, but with a cool breeze that makes it feel colder.
