Early Fab Prezzie!
Well, we must be into October – the month of the big birthday – as I've just met Lucy R for a dog walk, and been surprised by the delivery of a fantastic meats parcel from Lucy's local butcher's near their cottage in Suffolk. Ham, black bacon (who knew?), a delicious looking tapas mix, nibbly…

Luna(tics)
Slightly chilly up here on the roof terrace at One New Change, but loving the amazing sunset over St Paul’s, out for Liz T’s birthday treat at the Luna cinema. Massively relieved it’s a dry night, as we see off a few Pimms pretending it’s the final dregs of summer… …

Niece 3 Gets Married
Well, there are 5 nieces so it’s best to be clear which one is which. Richrd’s youngest daughter, Abbie, got married yesterday to the even younger looking Nick.

Last Day in Georgia
Five days in to our Georgian odyssey and what a trip it’s been, in all senses of the word. Apologies for the photo angles, I will rotate them on my return! It unfortunately started with the ridiculous, with our return flights cancelled before we even set foot on the outbound plane. Georgian Air was…

And the Hoomans Had A Good Time Too
For those of you without dogs, 'hoomans' are … well, us. Doggy mums and dads, apparently in 'dog speak'. Yes, life has got this tragic. Must be the impending large coming of age.. Anyway – our weekend was pretty good too. …

Scrumpy’s Weekend
So little Miss Scrumpy had a mostly excellent weekend. Started off with her best salty sea dog impression as we hired Thumper the little boat at Itchenor again, giving her 7 hours of deliriously happy hanging over the side of the boat with the wind in her spaniel ears. Well, apart from the 5…
