Thank goodness for the Landy

When we went to the beach on Friday we went through Louth.  Today the local news is reporting that Louth had flash floods on Friday.

We know because we went through one outside of the town.  Lots of cars were turning around because they couldn't get through the water, but not us.  Oh no, not us we have our trusted Landy and he can go anywhere ...especially with Mum driving!

Friends visiting

We have had a really lovely two days with Milly and her hoomans.

On Thursday we had a nice walk in the cool woods and then spent the afternoon playing whilst the hoomans sat around chatting, drinking tea and eating ice cream.

Yesterday we went to the beach and had a fabulous time even if it was windy and very rainy ...who cares when you can run along the sand and charge into the sea with your mates?  When we got back to the car Mum dried us off and put our coats on to keep us warm while they all huddled under the gazebo for a barbeque.  Dad did a great job of keeping the food dry and hot, so well done to him ... although I didn't see any of it come our way. 

Here's a photo of us all just before we hit the beach.  It was taken at the third attempt of getting us all to sit still so well done Dad for getting this, even if Fergus and Dougal are looking the wrong way!

Busy day at home

We were out this morning with Mum and then home to look at her 'To Do' lists in readiness for the next couple of days. 

What is happening I hear you ask?  Well, we are having two days out with the usual Gang of Four and Milly who is visiting Aunty Debbie with her hoomans for a couple of days.  So, naturally Mum has been very excited and making lists everywhere (as is her way, bless) to be sure we have everything with us we could possibly need ... and some other stuff no doubt too.

So that means for tomorrow it's agility jumps and poles with some yummies (liver cake I think)  for those of us with 4 legs who will have a go.  Also I've made sure she has packed dinner bowls for us (we have spare ones at home for tonight) and also planned what we are having for our dinner.  Very important.   For Friday, which is rumoured to be a day at the beach, we are taking the gazebo, chairs, bbq, food and loads of other stuff.

I can't wait and have had to go for a snooze this afternoon .....

Dad's been away for a few days so has missed all the excitement.  He is back this evening, so I must remember to tell him to pack his camera .. as if he needs reminding!

See you on the other side!

Peace and quiet

Mum and Aunty Debbie went out (again) yesterday.  They visited a local Japanese meditation garden and said it was very peaceful and calming.

Mum took a few photos, the best one being this

Dad gave her 9 out of 10 for composition but only about 6 for overall quality ... apparently she should have changed the settings on her camera.  She whispered to me later it was on automatic so she has no idea what he was talking about!  Still, good effort.

Town walk

Mum had to go into town early this morning, so we went with her and ended up having our walk for the day there.  This is not my favourite walk I have to admit, but the castle grounds as a backdrop does make for a nice photo op.

You could have hidden our leads Mum, even though we both seem very interested in anything but you!
