Heritage Open Days Festival



 It’s been very hot today so we haven’t been too far. This morning we took a walk up the boardwalk before it got too hot. Nix actually took a photo of the boardwalk without me on it because she thought it looked ‘arty’ 🙄 I have tried to explain that in general, people would prefer a photo of the boardwalk with me on it 🙂



Just before lunch we went up to the old fort to watch the Heritage Open Days Festival…that was very interesting. There were a lot of old fashioned armoured vehicles which I should have like to inspect but it was too hot and there were also lots of soldiers dressed in WW1 uniforms. We stayed in the shade while we had a look round, Nix took some photos for you to see. 







This afternoon we went to the river so I could cool off and then we came home across the Rec. It wasn’t very busy because I expect everyone was on the beach. Nix might go for a ‘swim’ later when the tide goes out a bit. 





We have over one hundred olives on our two olive trees, shame Nix can’t stand them…

It’s My Birthday Tomorrow 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

 We’ve not done a lot today. Nix has been dozing off at various times and to be honest, I’ve been asleep too. It’s quite nice actually not having anything to do. Nix has been working on the church log book so there was lots of tutting, mainly because she couldn’t remember where she’d put anything. Just in case you were wondering, the log book is an account of everything that is added to the church or taken away or repaired. Eventually Nix will fill in the actual document with special ink that doesn’t fade so it will be there for future generations to read.  We did go to the Rec this afternoon as I did need a little walk but we didn’t stay too long, it was very cold. It was also very muddy but not to worry, most of it will fall off tomorrow in time for my birthday 🙂 Speaking of my birthday, I have received quite a lot of presents and cards which is very exciting. At the moment we are waiting for my birthday cake to be delivered, it’s a vanilla sponge with raspberry cream. I sh...

RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 😪

  RIP Fripp 5.1.2010 - 8.2.25 My darling Fripp has crossed the bridge 😪 He passed very peacefully this afternoon in a lovely special room with a bed for him and a sofa for me. I am okay, I think, and I know time will heal.  A little bit about my gorgeous boy…he was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease when he was 7. He did really well on his home cooked diet but when he was eight he developed autoimmune thrombocytopenia due to some meds he was given…not by Bron. He went on a high dose of steroids, lost a lot of his coat with his gorgeous tail being almost bald. He survived the disease and went on to become strong but always with the kidney disease in the background.  Some months later he got sick again and went into kidney failure. He spent a week at North Downs Referrals where they discovered his ureter was blocked with a stone and so he received a subcutaneous ureteral bypass from his kidney to his bladder. He was one of the first dogs to get it and I’m told he has be...
