Visiting stunning Oberstdorf to see Alasdair, Parinat and lovely little Klara ❤️

Częstochowa in Poland 🙂

Labrador in the dusk

Gloriously crisp snowy morning. Walking with Lottie and Smiley. Now for a cuppa.

Blueberry pierogi - shared with Lottie the Labrador 👌

De-bobbling the Spaniel

A nephrologist’s breakfast - grilled sardines on toast with chopped chilli peppers, tomatoes and cheese. Enough glomeruli?

Stand off between Lottie the Labrador and a beautiful deer

Now that my hives are tucked up once more for winter, I am ever reminded of WB Yeats:
‘I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.’

At times funny, scary and heartbreaking. Beautifully written

Smiley, the spaniel
