Neen and I went for a walk together this afternoon. Although we live just three miles from Galway city centre the countryside is literally on our doorstep. In truth we didn't know where we were going, we just decided to head out and see where the fate's brought us. We found a small country road we hadn't traveled down before so we thought "why not?!"
We walked until we reached a crossroads and to our detriment we chose left. A narrow low-lying road turned out to be impassable as a 20 foot patch of road was flooded.
We re traced our steps, took the right turn this time and stumbled across this friendly fellow. Neen was filming a video for her Youtube channel at the time and he immediately walked up to us and the camera to say "Hi" I rubbed his coat and after a couple of photos and a chat we moved on....
But the horse decided to follow...The wall on this end of the field was higher than he remembered!
Neen took a quick photo on her phone and for a second time we said our goodbyes.
The horse however had other ideas. Unbeknownst to us he made his way from one field to another and eventually found his way to the farm yard entrance for one last rub. It's a shame we didn't have a carrot or apple with us...next time though!
I find it pretty cool that on a day I found a mysterious horse shoe in our garden (check previous post) I also met a super friendly horse so close to our home. Neen eventually dragged me away from my new best friend and our walk continued...
We also met quite a few cows along the way...
Although they proved quite uninterested...
if not a touch suspicious...
I leave you with one last photo to ponder over...
Who or what lives in this absolutely minuscule house?

Ahhh, the typical Irish countryside with rolling hills of grass and cows that Neen denies exists ;-)
Oh, is it a gate or guard house?
