There is an art to avoiding a thorn somewhere delicate and at the same time ignoring your goggling audience, whilst pretending to maintain some semblance of dignity. <br />Love the strategic placing of the pat!Orchids & Observationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00135053268481760750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-10570509820794232802010-09-02T09:44:08.029+01:002010-09-02T09:44:08.029+01:00J.J. - and that's because they absolutely do s...J.J. - and that's because they absolutely do show up, exactly when you least need it...<br /><br />DJ - thanks hon!<br /><br />Jennie - it was one of those moments, as I crumped up the hill feeling bitter and put-upon, when I thought 'well at least this will make a good blog post'... always a silver lining!Sparxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075991922896922279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-48750333174901162622010-09-02T06:36:54.439+01:002010-09-02T06:36:54.439+01:00HaHAAAAA, that was brilliant!

And your 'viewers'? That's what we used to call 'the herding instinct'... even on a desert island I don't think you would be alone for long.<br />I read an (American, admittedly)article recently that said 64% of British children rarely play outside and 28% haven't been on a country walk in the last 12 months - some of them even believe that cows hibernate in winter!
