Walking with the dogs is an everyday job (hardly a job as it is always lots of fun) and January has been interesting with all the frost, snow, rain and even a bit of sunshine! Trying to get both dogs to look at the camera at the same time is really difficult ... but I have managed it once or twice.
I am so lucky having such fantastic walks right on my door step. The video is a typical walk for the dogs. We also go to Ashridge where we meet up with other cockapoo owners and I had a lovely walk at Marston Mortaine Forest Centre with a good friend - Dylan loves the lake. We all went up to Sharpenoe Clappers after Joe's training, which used to be lovely but this time was full of litter - a great shame.

It was very muddy today, but sunny and actually quite warm for a January day - hats and coat weather but quite a nice day to walk in. Dylan & Joe got very muddy during our 4.75 mile walk from Harlington, along the bottom of Sundon Hills, to the chalk gravel pits (pictured here) and back home again to Harlington.
I was privileged in that Duncan and Luke came with me along with 52 other people, making 55 altogether. Below I have shared a few of my favourite photos from the walk ...
