Bank Holiday Weekend

Raining as usual, but we still went out yesterday to Belton House to have a walk in a different place than usual.

Guess who made the front page?

Did you dear reader see the Horncastle News on Wednesday 19th August?  Well if you didn't, here is a look at what you missed

A few photos

We left for home today but not after a lovely walk at Wakerley Woods where we managed to get this group shot courtesy of Aunty Debbie as Mum was too slow with her camera.

We've had a lovely time away and are looking forward to meeting up with everyone again in a couple of weeks.

Week away

Monday and Mum packed the car ready to head off for a few days away at the van.  Dad had gone to see his family in Ireland on Sunday, so he wasn't going to be left home alone which I was pleased about.  We had some errands to do on our way, so arrived just before midday - about 5 minutes before the rain.

It rained all afternoon with the only bright moment being the arrival of Aunty Debbie, Fergus and Inca.  Around 5pm the rain stopped for about 10 minutes, so we went out for a play in the dog walk.

Tuesday was a much nicer morning. We went to Lyveden New Bield but instead of walking around the site, we went for a walk along a bridleway and across some fields.  We met quite a few young pheasants and a horse.  The afternon was spent snoozing as we had a date to meet 3 girls for a walk at 6pm at Wakerley Woods.  Lily, Flo and Gwen brought their hoomans Fiona and Paul with them. Thanks to Aunty Debbie's navigation we had a lovely walk for about an hour and then met Uncle Dave and Max at the Queens Head in Bulwick for the hoomans to have dinner.

They were all quite excited as Tuesday is steak night and apparently the steaks are 'divine'. Personally I couldn't comment as we never got any.... #notimpressed.

Today is Wednesday and after being woken up early by the wind and rain we eventually set off for a picnic and walk at Burghley.  A lot of the park was closed as they are putting the cross country course together for next week's horse trials, but we managed to have a good wander around. Guess who left her camera at the van?!

We all head home tomorrow but I am hoping there will be enough time and sunshine to get a group photo before we leave.

Mum at home

She's been busy and out every day this week, so I was thrilled to see hear she was to be at home with us all day today.

Not long before I was beginning to wish she had gone out when I heard the words 'Merlin come for a brush' which always means so much more.

Rumour has it that I will be back on the table over the weekend as I have to be 'smart' to go on holiday next week apparently.
