And so, today it was back to the compost area of the garden following yesterday’s start. And a lot of progress was made. As well as moving the bins, I also needed to move the cairn I built long ago … Continue reading →

Today marked Freya’s first big walk. We took her to Frensham Little Pond…along with 30,000 other people. It was a glorious, if overly hot, day so we decided to wait until late in the day to set off. We thought … Continue reading →

Posted on August 18, 2015 by Gary

It was so much easier with the poodles. We were living at East Worldham and we just kept them outside on the grass all day. We were both working so they had no choice. It has to be the worst … Continue reading →

Definitely not orange

Posted on August 17, 2015 by Gary

Having spent a day with the new puppy, I’ve decided I don’t like calling her Fanta. It’s a harsh word and doesn’t shorten very well. I’ve started calling her Fizz instead. It’s still short for Fizzy-pop Fanta. Actually, when I … Continue reading →

Flanagan & Allen

Posted on June 18, 2015 by Gary

About six weeks ago, we ordered three garden arches. The Wessex Forge, from whence they were purchased, promised perfectly rusted iron arches with curly bits. I figured we’d just order them, pay then they’d turn up in a few days. … Continue reading →

Waiting and weeding

Posted on June 16, 2015 by Gary

Emma does this thing where she runs up to other dogs and invites them to play. She runs up to them (but not too close), goes down on her front legs, wagging her tail like an aircraft prop and barks. … Continue reading →

Giant cushion

Posted on June 8, 2015 by Gary

Mirinda has decided that we need everything giant-sized. She bought a yoga mat a few days ago which turned out to be an exercise mat. While it’s obviously very comfortable, being three times as thick as a yoga mat, it … Continue reading →
