July Socials
So nice that life is starting to feel a tiny bit more normal – not exactly the fluid happy times of old but buoyed up massively by the pleasures of seeing people in the flesh, rather than on screen. Mr H headed out to Dorset this week with Jules, for a 3 night torture trip…

‘Hallo, Harro-gate’
Mr H & I are just back from a long anticipated and very much enjoyed three night stay up with our friends Mandy & David, oop narth. SO lovely to see them and to enjoy the splendour of their ma-hu-sive still quite new pad, with its incredible green countryside views. And to wake up to…

A Whole New (Dara) World..
At last!!! Having now had Dara every month for the last 4 and a half years – bloody hell – the miracle has finally happened. Dara has gone from being an IV infusion – an all day, cannulated, attached to a drip stand bit of an effort, where I'm in the Dark Side from 9.30am-4.30pm…

Big Boys, Babies & Pupdogs
So this was a very exciting week of meeting people's new puppies – popped over to Hatch's to check out little Polly, who wasn't there when I arrived. But about 5 minutes later a small brown leggy thing hurled herself up into my garden chair and started licking my face off. Now that's what I…

The House of Hairy Hawkes
Well, what a week it has been on the hirsute front. Firstly the HUGE excitement of being in the car fiddling on my phone when the Text of the Year arrived – from my hairdressers! OMG, cue manic scrabbling for the booking tab, checking of the – obviously still pretty empty – diary and sheer…

Whoops – belated update!
Blimey, I seem to have slid so far into lockdown that I haven't updated on here in aaaaages! Luckily, there has clearly been not a whole fat lot going on, so here comes the latest little batch of pics from our somewhat reduced lifestyles. Actually, its been pretty much ok, if not actually fairly good.…

One for Sorrow..
You'll be glad I didn't;t actually take a photo of this, but it is the saddest thing. Magpies apparently have a partner for life and stick together – hence the upside of the saying 'one for sorrow, two for joy' – because normally there are two of them in sight. So it was a bit…
