Late again, sorry! George’s vet visit went well and he was very brave when the vaccination was administered. A very pleasant stand in vet checked him over and agreed he was healthy for his 12 years but I should try to brush his teeth! Well, I can try but don’t hold out much hope. She said what I thought was one of Brady’s…

Hello and happy Wednesday. Yesterday was showery so I stayed in to concentrate on washing bedding and what seemed to be a pile of dishes and containers from Charmaine’s cooking. She loves making every kind of Far Eastern dish as she is originally from Sri Lanka where her mother taught her until, at the age of 18, she took…

Happy Monday. It is our August bank holiday so a lot of visitors in the area. Yesterday Charmaine and I went for a long walk in rather cool weather and on the way home, stopped for a Cornish cream tea. George wasn’t very well with an upset tummy so I decided it would be best to starve him until today. Charmaine cooked…

Hello! Having a wonderful time. Sven and his partner have now gone on to Devon for a tour but Charmaine is still with me. She will go home on Monday.We have been out and about and she is now cooking a very spicy curry in my kitchen! This is Nephew Sven with Helen. He is the spitting image of my late brother John. Take care…

Here I am but off to bed. I’m ok, just very busy. Sent a Jacqui Lawson card to Anne because Jilly is at the vet for an operation to remove 6 teeth and of course she is very worried. My nephew, his partner and also Charmaine arrive tomorrow so I’ve been preparing as much as I can. I should have more time to post tomorrow…

Posted then realised I had missed late messages from Barbie, Sandy and Lin! Don’t know what happened there! 🙄🤔

Good morning. I didn’t manage to post yesterday because my day was nonstop until I finally fell into bed at midnight. I walked George and Betty on a section of moors we don’t often go to and before long I remembered why. It is a quiet U-shaped route with a lot of gorse bushes in the middle and all went well until, almost…

A misty start to my day but by the time I was walking the pooches on the moors, the sun had burned it away and we’ve had a lovely warm day. There’s a few more chores inside to do but I decided to spend the afternoon in my garden. After I messaged Barney to arrange a visit for him to cut and prune larger trees and shrubs he…

Another very busy day yesterday walking, shopping and a hair appointment, thank goodness, to shorten my untidy hair, grocery shopping, then a few hours of cleaning and sorting out items to be taken to the local tip. Today is grey and dismal with a constant drizzle so a shorter local dog walk before I go shopping for hen’s…

I was up early so I could walk the dogs before more rain arrived. It’s a lot cooler now so we walked a good distance on the moors, met a couple of dog walkers on the way round but closer to the car park I noticed George was beginning to shiver so didn’t hang about. Rain duly arrived so I enjoyed my usual coffee before…

So much for a heatwave! It was misty again this morning so although we are getting warm air coming across the channel from Spain, a breeze on the moors kept it fresh and back at home I’ve been doing housework. I had been thinking for a long time the sofa in my garden room had seen better days so after lunch checked the…

Happy Sunday! I’m hoping I can get through to post today but won’t know until I select Post Reply because yesterday, when I did, the whole page faded without disappearing completely but wouldn’t send! Most of the country is dealing with heatwave conditions but I woke up to thick mist! I headed for the moors with George and…

Rained all day so I continued decorating, moving furniture and tidying the mess I created! Nothing else to report. Wow Lin, now that is solid fencing! Take care. Jackie 🥰

Five toes 😁

Good morning! The promised rain arrived yesterday but I managed to walk George and Betty when it paused mid morning. Our usual local stroll that holds little interest for either of them but we did meet Lin with her rescue black Labrador Pip. He thought it a good idea to lunge at George in a playful way but Mr Grumpy was…

Cooler today so off to the moors I went with George and Betty. George was in one of his stubborn moods so kept ignoring my calls and disappearing into dense bracken until I decided it would be best to clip his lead on his collar! We only stayed half an hour by which time the sun was shining and temperature rising so I’ve…

Hello! Sheila phoned me at 7.30am to ask if I would be walking on the moors because she was going stir crazy being home so much and we agreed to meet up an hour later. We had a small rain shower in the night so it was cooler so George and Betty were happy to run about while we strolled for over an hour. Her back is holding…
