It was nice and blue-skied but a bit frosty. We got up and got ready to go for a walk. John drove to Ogston reservoir fiddling about with the cruise control on the new car all the way there. It was lovely and warm on the start of our walk. We walked across lots of fields and quarries and wooded escarpments. We saw snowdrops and crocus and walked past a ruined chapel and a big ornate chimney. We finalled got to Milltown where we stopped for lunch. It was very late and they had stopped serving but the barlady asked the chef what she could do and she returned with pork and apple pie with fresh vegetables -very nice. John had a pint of Marleys ghost (7%). By the time we had finished it was about 3.30 and was starting to get cold. John made friends with a herd of bullocks who were leaning over a gate. He kicked a load of hay under the gate so they could reach it. We got back to the reservoir at 4.15 as the sun was starting to go down and everything was golden.
