On Monday I took Constance to Lake Vyrnwy for the day and we walked into the hills alongside a river which runs into the lake, Connie whinging 'are we there yet' all the way. Once we arrived at some falls I sat to get her drink and fruit bar picnic out and took this pic in which she's wearing her full complement of warm dry clothing:
Within 2 minutes she'd decided to cross the river by leaping from stone to stone; as she later explained she thought if Gyp could do it so could she given that she's 6 months older than the dog.
Gyp could, Constance couldn't. One very wet Constance had to strip off to her tee shirt - every other stitch of clothing was sodden with icy mountain water, and she mooched back to the car wearing only her tee shirt, wet wellies and her coat this time whinging that she had no knickers on and that Gyp was a mean dog for leaving her in the water.
10 minutes later she was going full pelt on the assault course without a care in the world. Being 5 is fantastic.
