Nap the #BorderCollie had her first #walk in the #LakeDistrict #fells since we #adopted her in June. She was a #lakes #sheepdog for 4 years but lost her role because she was afraid of vehicles.She was brave today and went in the car to Caldbeck Commons for #walkies @keswickboot.bsky.social

The #garden is a bit #wild compared to next-door who have a manicured lawn and hedge. But it's colourful and there is plenty for the birds and insects. Bullfinch love Cranesbill seeds. #Cumbria #wildlife @keswickboot.bsky.social
