As promised, some pictures and video of Robert and my walks around Herefordshire.
Most of the time we've been walking around the feilds up by the dam barn and there are ALOT of sheep and baby lambs up there, so we often go for walks just so I can have an excuse to see the lambies. :)
Little lambies jumping around. They're so cute when they jump!
One of the lambs in the feild decided it liked to be around people more than it's fellow lambies. It was so sad, after we left and carried on our walk it was bleeting for us...it was cute but oh so sad. Poor little Ramy-Lamby was lonely!
One walk we went on was over an old railway bridge that you could look down through the cracks. The pictures above and below is of Rob, on the railway bridge, and me down below on the ground. But this bridge goes across a pretty wide part of the Wye River
On one of the walks near the Dam Barn, one of the sheep in the feild kind of looked like a cow.
Near the Dam Barn, our neighbor, the horse.
Another walk that we went on was to this old pub in Wales. To get to it you have to park your car on the otherside of the river and walk across a bridge to get to it. The pub was recommended to us by James(dad) and so we decided to walk around there since it was on the River Wye. The pub was a quite local one, but the area it was in was so cool.
Nevermind the fact that the pub is RIGHT on the river bank, but it's up against a cliff face, so there were waterfalls coming down the side of the cliff, running under bridges in the beer garden out back, and then traveling into the river Wye. Pretty freakin cool.

At that pub, we met a cat. Me, obsessed with cats, was thrilled that I had another kitty to adopt. So far I think I've adopted 6 cats in and around Ross and we've nicknamed them all(if we didn't know their real names).
1. Misty: neighbor cat who just had kittens.
2. Pumpkin: lives across the way, never leaves the roof that edges up against our garden wall

3. "Mysterious Black Cat": only comes out in the dead of night, has been seen in our flat complex, but lives up the road in the old jail house(which is now just a house).
4. "Sebastian": a kitty that frequents the carpark up the road from our house.

5. "Robert Kitty": a recent kitty I met when walking down to the river in Ross. It's a ginger kitty, so I named him after my hubby.
6. "Rivendell Kitty": aka, this cat, because the pub we found it at and surrounding area with all the waterfalls reminded us of Rivendell from Lord of the Rings.

Another walk around the Dam Barn.....
The fields are getting alot brighter and more colourful.
Me, feeding Ramy Lamby from the 2nd video(above).
More sheep.
More Lambies!
and of course our friendly neighborhood peacock. Yep. There's a peacock up near the Damn Barn too. We just have ALL sorts of animals in the countryside.
Here we took a two hour walk along the River Wye. All the way from Goodrich Castle, down along the river almost into the Forest of Dean District. There was a little lollygaging with me taking pictures and ROb trying to find the old train line, but it was a great walk and awesome to take advantage of the bright sunny day.
Rob, posing in the sunlight. "HERCULES!"(apparently).
This is what a 2 hour walk does to you! Happy Happy Happy!
