I finally made it to the river!

March 2020 - Before Lockdown

Life is good. I made it to the river, one of my favourite walks in Winchester. I was actually doing this walk the day before I was induced. It normally takes me about 50 minutes or so to walk the length and back and it took me nearly 2 hours at 37 weeks pregnant. I tried my best to stay fit and healthy whilst pregnant, I managed to complete an entire shooting season, working the dogs and going beating, thanks to the most awesome and sympathetic gamekeeper, who appreciated that waddling around hills and valleys was actually quite challenging. I only fell over once!

At the end of January, I even shot on beaters day. I mean, I didn't actually hit anything, mainly because I could barely hold the gun up (and also because I am a terrible shot) but I was utterly determined to try and carry on as normal. I didn't want to miss out on the season. I can't think of anything better than being outside in countryside working my dogs. It really is amazing.
