Thankfully she was fairly calm with us and I actually had to go up into the hills (braes) to get to play in some snow.
This walk is from the carpark by the pylons at the Gleniffer Braes just outside Paisley
It is only about 1.5 miles but today it was a really tough workout as the ground was muddy under them melting snow.
At the most westerly side of this walk it is often pretty boggy underfoot anyway
The views are stunning as they are all over the Gleniffer Braes
Excuse the shaky video, I was trying hard not to fall over! Some of the walk - and some of my nutter dogs enjoying the snow with zoomies and snow dog angels
As you can see - stunning views around every corner
I will be back in better (different) weather for more photos
But today I very much needed my waterproof trousers! Click the image to see them in amazon

On a very sunny Feb 14th I took a walk in Lochwinnoch, Here is a little film of the stunning walk
Obviously I took the dogs with me, and the winter sunshine really showed off their coats lovely :)
Mia loved the walk, no dogs to bother her, lots of kids which she loves :)
And Ben found so many things to roll in :D
I parked up in the Castle Semple visitor center. There is a wee tea room there (but I was good and didnt indulge - although the gingerbread is AMAZING) That is the star by Lochwinnoch on the map, and then walked anticlockwise onto the road and then up to the RSPB center up along the other side of the Loch
This is a very flat paved walk suitable for any age and ability and although part of it is on the road there are lovely vews the whole way. My walk was just over 3 miles. If you want a shorter walk you can park at the RSPB center and just walk up the side of the loch, that would be just over a mile.
The Castle Semple carpark is fantastic for bird watching
The birds are rather friendly - infact when photographing I often get a swan sneaking up beside me!
At the RSPB center there are lots of fun things for children to discover and some hides for birdwatching
The paths are good and flat and even in the winter they are pretty with all the moss and the light filtering through the trees
So although it is not the most challenging dog walk there is plenty of pretty things to keep you interested
Even beside the road the views can be pretty
Around every corner there can be a stunning or cute view
I hope you all enjoyed coming on my walk with me
The camera I used for all of this walk was my trusty Nikon Coolpix L820. Click on the image below to see it on Amazon

In Todays video I try and cover a basic guide to SEO for small artists and crafters with shops on Etsy
SEO is search engine optimisation - its the way websites allow you to search for things of interest
Etsy's SEO is slightly different than other search engines so even if you know how to rank for Google or YouTube learning Etsy magic will really help your shop
Some factors to consider for SEO are
Tags and Titles
Recency
Listing Quality
Location
Customer Experience
Similar items
I hope this video helps :) Please feel free to like and share (if you like it)

This is a good beginner exercise to learn to manipulate the shapes of your pieces with either pressure from your hands or the way you use your needle
