Thank you Network Rail

Www. The adventures of Gryff.  A while ago we had a bit of trouble with some yobs who broke the stiles down across the local track so they could SCRAMBLE along the river and throw stones, as well  as setting up a camp late at night for the fun of shouting drinking and generally being idiots. The other day I saw this bright orange two leg wandering down the railway track, and he stopped and was looking at the now non existent stiles and the fact that a well meaning country lover had put some 6 by 4 lumps of wood across the gaps to try and stop their 'FUN'.  As I said to him, it's a public right of way but, while us fit and furry canines can limbo dance under the timber, our owners needed the same gymnastic abilities as OLGA CORBETT (look her up if you are too young)  to either try and scale it, vault over it like a high jumper, or better still borrow the transporter from the Star Ship Enterprise to get to the other side. Bless him, he took off his little white hard hat, scratched his head and said that to his knowledge the path was still open and he would try and sort it out. Good as his word, today on our walk (me, Asti and Miss Cat) they were busy demolishing the existing timber to put new stiles in. Can't think why, but after a bit of nudging each other , one of the gentlemen came down to have a word with me. Seemed they all thought that the sight of two BEARS (his words not mine) and a silver white long haired fluff ball of a cat, all going for a walk together was worth a comment. Got to say they were all very complimentary , and one chap even knew that we were Bernese Mountain Dogs. Any way, I would just like to say thank you for our fuss this morning, and the fact that you are working hard to make the crossing safe again, and also access to our other walks on the other side of the track. (Now the two legs have no excuses for one way walks) . And to the gent who shared his Docky (dinner) with us.....TA MATE, YOUR AVERAGE ( Australian for being excellent as taught to me by Merlin (Fortonpark Jackson whose dad was Branbern Special Knight.) Nothing like being Bi-barkable.... Two languages always impresses the totty! And of course the railway men. Cool runnings Gryff
