A LOVED-UP couple are taking a gentle evening stroll through the mud, mulch and slimy twigs covering every path near their house.
Lauren Hewitt and Jack Brown went walking to enjoy the romance of autumn as well as risk going arse over tit and falling into a muddy puddle or prickly hedge.
Hewitt said: “We haven’t checked the weather forecast or worn appropriate clothing. I’ve got on a very expensive white cashmere jumper and Jack’s wearing brand new trainers.
“However, it’s great to get out in the crisp October air, and if that means potentially slipping on some wet leaves and sliding into a dirty stream, so be it.
“The autumnal aesthetic of the photos I’m planning on taking for Instagram won’t be as good if they feature Jack being put in an ambulance with a fractured tibia. But it would make a hilarious TikTok so it’s swings and roundabouts really.”
Brown said: “I’ve seriously considered proposing this evening. But if I kneel down, there’s a decent chance of sticking my knee in a pile of dog shit that’s been camouflaged by leaves. And I don’t love her that much.”
