I say hello to this horse every time I pass this way.

I have walked this stretch of the Roman road many times these past 5 years and I always stop and give an apple to my friend here. My girlfriend brings a few carrots (although she wasn't present on this occasion). Horsey accepted the apple graciously enough but turned away as soon as he realised carrots weren't forthcoming!

Thanks, Rosa.
Girlfriend at work. I had three cancelled classes (all private students who each decided it was too near their Easter hols to be bothered with English lessons)!
I never have carrots; they are the worst thing for diabetics!! I promised Horsey some on next visit!
Walk was a spur of the moment decision!

Nick Weall ^club has replied to Andy Rodker ^club

I know :~) but the horse seems to prefer your girlfriend's offerings of carrots more :~)

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Nick Weall ^club

Maybe, but it ate the apple with relish! I won't compete - just make sure there are both next time!

Andy was lacking that day, says the horse! A serene shot.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Diane Putnam ^club

Lacking what, Diane?
It enjoyed my apple!!!!
Only Marta carries carrots and I suppose you mean I was lacking Marta, therefore the horse was lacking carrots. Or am I unnecessarily confusing the issue?

I don't think so, Tanja. I have never met another walker on this path! (a few cyclists and horse riders but they don't stop!). So he (or she - I never think to check!) looks forward to his/her apples and/or carrots from me/us!!!!!
