The Great Big Hen - Part 2

With varying degrees of hangovers the party met up for breakfast looking all lovely in their fairy wings. For reasons not entirely clear our subject was required to eat everyone's black pudding, should sort out his anemia.

As the options available in Ludlow appeared to be "goto the pub" or "go for a walk" the decision was taken to "go for a walk". As one would expect in such a lovely part of the country it is quite difficult to arrange a walk in the countryside and for it to not be lovely. As one would also expect nevertheless our subject managed it.

The first council estate they wandered through was a bit grim; the scrap of waste ground apparently designated as a dog toilet that followed turned matters a little downhill; the second council estate neatly bracketed dog shit alley; the industrial estate really dig begin to take the biscuit, not only was it the usual boxy warehouse horror but in the middle of it all (straddling the footpath) was a food digestor aka the smelliest thing on earth.

By this stage tempers were getting a touch frayed. The real boiling point was the next hurdle, crossing the bypass.

However that achieved at last they reached some open countryside and despite looking a little foolish in their wings began to enjoy their stroll in the country.

That said they did manage to find some rusty farm machinery , another main road and some railway tracks to really top off the walk.

I love those wings. I don't get it but I love it. Happy St. Paddy's day.
