Trip to the forest...

So yesterday, 2 friends and myself decided to take our dogs to Wanstead Flats and forest. My word, trying to get 3 dogs on a train (as well as up some escalators) was a trial in itself. Once we got there and let them go, they were quite happy to roam around and play follow the leader. We treked through quite a few muddy paths, before we came to the edge of a small pond. We were chatting away as we walked, when i lost sight of Mylo. When we turned round, the idiot had decided to try and drown himself. (Not really, he just slipped). All was could see was his bottom and back legs flailing over a piece of wood. Thankfully he had a jacket on, so we managed to drag him out by that. Needless to say, he was a tad disorientated and shocked...he hated water before, and still hates it now. One very soggy doggy (who gave mummy a fright).

 After we got past that little event, we walked them the whole way round the forest. Saw some horses in the local riding school (one tried to eat my pocket). After about 2 hours of walking, we came to a seating area, with a lovely view of the lake and the swans.

 

After 5 hours of walking and wading through mud (and me slipping over and grabbing a thorn bush to balance myself....ouch!) we decided that we were exhausted and needed a drink. So we found a pub across one of the fields, and luckily they allowed dogs. Not just in their garden, but in the whole pub. Mylo decided to make himself at home on the bench. 

That was our day at the forest, obviously it was a lot more interesting if you were there, but i thought i'd share the pictures with you all, since i haven't blogged in a little while.

Hopefully spring and summer are now well on their way!
