Yesterday I was a beast of burden

Yesterday I had a long, long day out in the field. I did something I have not done for a long time; I travelled with a full pack, so to speak.

I have downsized so much since 2019 due to back problems, and almost never carry as much as I used to.

For this load, I should really have used a backpack. Instead, I used my Van Der Spek large tote in black and dark brown Janet Leather. I was so glad when the day was over!
