These photos were taken a few weeks ago before harvesting had taken place. Now we are walking between stubble fields, not a papillon's favourite playground, (especially a male !) as the legs are not long enough to clear the stiff stubble. This track is not used much by farm machinery and so there are very few puddles formed here. After weeks of heavy rain showers there is mud aplenty on those more frequently used. This has therefore been our usual walking route of late.
