Extraordinary Day

Extraordinary day! We travelled from Winchester to Exton today and both of us felt terrific. A little rain in the morning and then partly sunny all day, temps in the high 60s.
Highlights included seeing my first ever natural beehive in an old tree about 20 feet up, beautiful scenery and just being with my best friend starting a new adventure.
We walked to the top of Beacon Hill where they actually have a replica of a beacon that used fire to warn of trouble in the 19th century (a la the Lord of the Rings).
We did have a bit of excitement as we reached the bottom of Beacon Hill. It seems the trail uses the same path a herd of dairy cows use to get to the milking barn. It was about 4pm and with full udders bouncing we were surrounded by cows some of them actually running all around us to get to the barn. A little scary but I followed Sam's advice and did not make eye contact and just kept chanting, "nice cow, nice cow". Headed out to dinner now after showers, and naps.
