[Margaret Pilkington]

Today was something of a wild goose chase.....except I wasn't looking for geese.
My other half suggested I took myself off for a walk to take pictures of the donkeys in the field that is close to the Hyndburn Bridge pub.
I suggested he drop me off in the car and I would walk back. This suggestion fell on deaf ears.
So I walked it.
Here are the pictures from my 'hoof' to see the donkeys.
1) This is the field where the donkeys are...alas not today.
2) Over on the far side of the field was this small pony.
3) At least I know where I stand.
4) A dribble of water.......not enough for Dave to get his gusset wet.
5) The Hyndburn Bridge pub - couldn't even get a drink - it was shut.
6) Scary Tree Man - I came back through Woodlands.
7) A fallen pine cone in Mercer Park.
8) Help...I' ve got this big lump on my trunk.
9) 'She went that way'...The War memorial in Mercer Park.

So I can't say I was overly impressed with my walk, or for that matter the pictures I managed to get. I wanted donkeys, so I feel a bit 'short changed'.
