Caterpillars, Peacocks, and Muddy Dogs!

 An icy morning with a little dusting of snow making the minor roads round here a bit tricky.  Still, the light conditions were really nice so I will bore you with another shot of the 'caterpillar'.  I only stopped here to watch six deer make their way across the corner of one of these fields but they were too far away to get a picture of them, 1000mm lens please!

Up at the cottage and a walk with the dogs round our neighbours fields down to the top of 'our' burn. The dogs came back filthy and my Mother made a timely exit left on the bus to Hexham.  One of the dogs still has a large, slightly smelly patch of dirty on his shoulder, and no, I don't want to know either....!
