David & Mandy Visit
Had a very good couple of days with David & Mandy, our Harrogate chums, who made the trip down south – and into the sunshine! David had apparently been out with their dog Macey that morning in 4 degree weather, in his gloves, coat etc – so was rather delighted to find himself sitting out…

A WOW Week
So, let's start with the things that we knew were going to happen this week. Scrumpy's recovery from her hip op is going as expected – here she is briefly without her 'cone of shame' on – which turned out to be a big mistake as not only did she manage to lick off the…

Scrumpy’s Hip Op
So last Wednesday was the rather miserable day – for us and for Scrumpy – as it was time for her to have her second femoral her d& neck excision. Basically removing half her hip bone on the left side, having had the same op last year on her right side. She had two nights…

Soph’s Birthday
Had a mini gathering Fri eve to celebrate Sophie's birthday that day. Boys took one for the team and headed up to Billingsgate Market to hunter-gather vast amounts of seafood including two live lobsters for the feast.

Good Results for Mr H
Hawksey now goes to see his consultant, Vincent Khoo, every 3 months. And we actually had a proper face to face, rather than a call, this week. It's funny that he uses my Prof's consulting room on the Wed evenings that he comes in – what a familiar space.. So we both breathed a major…

Baby Lettie
Aaaah, just had to steal this pic off Instagram – great-niece Violet / Lettie, looking her usual gorgeous self in my brother's garden in Kent. As Mum Jess's comment says '9 months in, now 9 months out'…. Also notably surrounded by multiple Miffy toys, sourced by my sister…
