Mary-Jane and I went for another walk down the River Path at Calder Bridge. This time we were followed! HK was more than alarmed when I told him this, till I told him who it actually was - two sheep! We first caught sight of them when they were stood a little way off the path. They eyeballed us as we walked past.
As we continued I could hear footfalls behind us. I turned round and the two sheep pretended that they weren't following us and went to run off as if they'd not been seen. As we continued, so did they, getting closer and closer but still staying at a distance of about 10 yards.

This is as far as we got. I had to keep an eye on the time to get back for Mary-Jane's tea time. Plus it seems that MJ doesn't like the path, I think the vibrations are too much for her, plus there is little suspension on the buggy so she feels it all. The path is good for walking on, but not for her buggy.

The river water is beautifully clear, and so inviting. I know I shall be paddling my toes in there one day

Back to the sheep. They followed us there and back.

I'd still like to follow the path to Caler Abbey. It must only be around the corner. I shall have to see if there is an alternative route to take MJ, it's distressing to hear her crying as she does. Lots of walks to go on!
