Oh for flip sake!

I'm sorry, I did giggle. You could have got £250 from Harry Hill. You often see kids knocked over by their dog, but not a big burly bloke. Hope the knee isn't too bad.

Wine will numb the pain.

Dangerous things these dogs. GWS.

At the furthest point of the loop about a mile from home the daft mutt was off the lead about 50 metres away. Before any dog haters moan it's open agricultural land with views for hundreds of metres in all directions, and he'd be back on the lead the moment a speck came into view on the horizon.

You're probably well aware I'm sure, and I'm not having a pop at all, but as we get into nesting season it's worth bearing in mind there could be ground nesting birds even on the bleakest looking of fields (skylarks, meadow pipits, lapwing etc). Might be worth keeping it on a lead on or near farmland just to be sure over the coming weeks
