After visiting Wat Tyler Country Park in Essex last month and having a ball, we were desperate to return. Nelli had an amazing time being able to run around off her lead. There isn't really anywhere near to where we live that she can really run about off her lead so we don't mind driving for a while to give her a good run. Wat Tyler is in Basildon, which is so near to our friend Reece's. Last time we visited we called Reece to see if he was free and unfortunately he wasn't. But we swore we would come back again soon.
A few weeks later we arranged to meet Reece at Wat Tyler one frosty Sunday morning. However, the road to Wat Tyler had been closed. Luckily Reece's local knowledge led us to another Country Park area.
It wasn't as big as Wat Tyler and there was less to do but it was a large open space, lots of hills and lots of friendly doggies. Nelli has been a bit nervous towards dogs when on the lead recently so we were keen to socialise her. She didn't waste any time getting to know Reece's two beautiful dogs.
She was really friendly to all of the different dogs she met. She also met another greyhound and she had a great time chasing it around. She wouldn't even come back to Rob when he called her! Nelli's favourite dog was a lovely little Spaniel puppy that she just would not leave alone. Her favoruite dogs are certainly the smaller ones.
The best thing about the Country Park was how friendly all the people were. I wish we lived nearer. It was amazing to see Nelli enjoying herself again.
After our walk we dropped the dogs back at Reece's so they could sleep. Rob, Reece and I headed out for a carvery dinner. Although I ate far too much, it really hit the spot. We headed home with tired feet and full bellies.
