Wow today was a tough day. There are not many days that make me consider whether I want an office job but today was definitely one where I thought about thinking about it!!!
I do want to say a massive thank you to my partner, Louise for getting me through today. Last night we had sat down together to do some admin, sorted out routes, timings and lunch (very Important!). We went to bed with a solid plan and then woke up to the worst weather! (I don't usually pay too much attention to the weather forecast as its usually wrong!).
Before my eyes had even opened I said "I think we need to make a plan B!" judging from the rain battering the bedroom window.
After a good cup of Yorkshire tea (thanks Raphie's parents!) we decided that the field was a no go and that the appointments needed to be changed. Messages were sent and plans were afoot.
The kindness of our clients never ceases to amaze us and all of you were so helpful in making sure the dogs were safe and their welfare put first. But for us, it would inevitably mean that our day would be longer on the whole. Louise was a god-send and I couldn't have asked for more support! We ended the day cold, wet, muddy and tired but we felt accomplished that all dogs were kept safe and no accidents or injuries were sustained by being out in slippery mud and freezing rain!
Here is to hoping tomorrow will bring better weather, although the gritter has just driven by the kitchen window, and we can keep counting the days until Spring finally arrives! (only 52 days to go until Spring Equinox!)
