Rambling in the fields and on screen!

Sam had a bath and a good brushing yesterday, so he looks pretty spiffy today. I was soaked from head to toe by the end of the process - and Sam absolutely hated the ordeal, but he's less smelly and certainly a lot more shiny.

Although it continues to be cold to the Brits, it's very manageable weather for me. Early this morning, I donned my hiking boots and took Sam for a ramble across farmers' fields, over stiles and along nice right-of-way paths. It was lovely. Both of us enjoyed it immensely. The area we were walking in is just nicely hilly ... very pretty.

Right now, Gill has a meeting of her flower-arranging committee for the church. I make the coffee and serve it but keep well away from the activities. It's 'not on' for me to be involved in flower arranging and in church activities. However, I must say that the church they meet about is absolutely beautiful, with a carved wooden ceiling and hanging chandeliers that burn real candles. It's very old and dates back to the Normans (I think). It's right in the middle of the town, across from the beautiful town square.

Speaking of churches, I plan to go to Wells tomorrow to walk around Britain's smallest city, visit the cathedral and take in the other sights. My next plan will be to go to Bristol - probably next week - to see a film called Bugs at the Imax theatre there. Has anyone seen it yet?

Toodle-oo for now.
