Today we went for a walk along the Stroud Water, Frome River near our house. We walked down from Rodborough to Capel Mill and the river. We walked from there along the river to Cheapside in Stroud. From there we walked back up hill to Rodborough.
Snapper absolutely loves walking along the river. I worry one day he will fall or jump in. We've no idea if he can swim and we worry that even if he can that he will be swept away in the swift current of the river, which is quite deep in places.
What Snapper likes most is chasing the leaves floating down the river. He often runs into the water to snap at the leaves.
He didn't get more than his front feet wet on this occasion, but there have been times when he waded in and got quite wet. He's not afraid at all! Hence why I'm worried he will go in where it's deep with a swift current. Lucky he's pretty good at coming back when we call.
I think he was captivated by the swift moving water and the swirls of water in the river in the photo above.
Someone has been working on the footpath along the river, it's looking quite smart at the moment.
There's also a new play and explore area with picnic table and carved eels.
We had a lovely walk indeed! And it's just down from our house. We are very blessed with beauty and adventures where we live. Looking forward to many more walks along this bit of river. I'm sure Snapper is too!
