He sat on the back of the quad with his head on my shoulder - if felt as if he and I were the only witnesses to the glory of nature wearing her Aurumn gown,,,, burnt orange, bright yellow ,,, and all tones of brown .... A couple of deer wandered down from the forest edge to take a drink from the loch .... their grace and beauty was breathtaking. My collie was disappointed when I turned to go back the way we had come .... he nudged me and looked back over his shoulder as if to say 'Hey mum!! You forgot the cattle!!' ....... so to save his feelings I took him back to the barn and asked him to sit and watch the bull for a little while - he lies with his nose to the bottom of the gate, never moving a fraction until I say 'That'll do' where upon he trots back to me jauntily with a very pleased expression on his face bless him.
