Swimming today: 1.10km
We spent another day today working on the talus and finished the back boundary. The land falls down to our property and Dominique's field is on a level with our roof which means that sometimes when we have a strange feeling we're being watched we are - usually by a cow standing above our heads, which is a very strange feeling.
The field has a solitary inhabitant at the moment, Charlie the horse (actually he's not called Charlie, Nicole did tell me his name (twice) but it was something impenetrable in Breton so we call him Charlie). I got the feeling I was being watched this afternoon ....... and I was:
Charlie's a Breton breed of some sort, working horses with a strong stocky build. The president of the Morbihan branch of the Breton Horse Society keeps three in a stable on our walking route and we sometimes see him in the morning, he did once explain to me in some great detail the characteristics of the Breton breed but as it was late in the afternoon of one of Claudette's fetes the details escape me just now ....
Pip has a new best friend , he's spending a lot of time in Charlie's field at present, mouse hunting and just hanging out with a horse:
