No Donkey Today 😕



 We were very disappointed today because the donkey got cancelled. To be honest, it was a bit wet and drizzly and very windy so it wouldn’t have been very nice for him or us but hopefully he will come again at Easter and we’ll see him then. Nix will post a photo of John one of the donkeys from the farm, he’s the oldest donkey there and he was born in 1993, that’s really old, almost as old as Jesus. He might even have been ‘that’ donkey 🫢



When we opened our front door this morning, we could hear the waves crashing on the beach so we knew it was going to be very rough and windy. It wasn’t very pleasant and so we didn’t stay too long. We had a bit of a rest when we got home and then we headed into town to the pet shop to buy a present for Indie and who should we bump into on the way…Indie 🙂 Nix will post a photo of what we bought but Jackie and Catherine better make sure that Indie doesn’t see it before tomorrow. I managed to snatch a treat so Nix had to pay for it. It was very nice, I’ve eaten it all.




The trifle is finished and Nix remembered to include the raspberries this time. To be honest it looks a bit scruffy, but I think she’s still going to post a photo of it. She’s tried to disguise the scruffy bits with some coloured thingies. I suppose it doesn’t really matter what it looks like because I happen to know that it does taste very nice, well the creamy bit does.



We’ve just been round the block and it is still very wet and windy, not very nice at all. Tomorrow isn’t going to be much better so Nix will have to make sure I’m nice and dry before we go to Jackie’s. It will be very nice to spend time with good friends on Christmas Day, Nix and I think we were very lucky to come and live next door to the Bartrams 🙂



Nix and I hope you are all going to be doing something for Christmas Day. We spent Christmas Day on our own once when we were moving here and it wasn’t very nice. If you are on you own maybe you could go to a church service near you even if you don’t have a faith. They’re usually user friendly on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning and it’s good to have people to chat with. Happy Christmas everyone and see you all tomorrow 🙂

Everything You Wanted to Know About Fripp

Image
My name is Fripp aka The Fripster, I am a Bearded Collie and I came to live with Nix when I was two years old.  I spent the first two years of my life living in Monaco but my owners couldn’t keep me because they were working long hours. Even though Nix lives in the UK she saw me and wanted me, naturally, and so my breeder brought me to the UK when she was visiting Crufts. Nix says she had no idea what she was letting herself in for and if I hadn’t come all the way from France she’d have sent me straight back the next day. She said I was completely untrained, tried to kill the cat and had separation anxiety so bad I would knock her over rather than let her get to the front door. None of this is true of course.  Nix and I have lived in perfect harmony for the last eight years even though she might say different. I got very sick when I was seven with an autoimmune disease called IMTP but I recovered from that even though I was bald for a while. Then a year later I ended up in hospital wit

Too Much Noisy Rain

Image
 Last night it started to rain, a lot, and as you know I do not like it when it rains, it scares me. I don’t mind it when I’m out on my walk as you can see from my photos but I don’t like it when I’m inside. I just couldn’t help myself, I had to get off the bed and start digging. Nix was very understanding for once but she does try to get me back on the bed. In the end I gave up and got on the bed and was just drifting off when there was this really loud scary noise. Nix said it sounded like a very loud demented dalek whatever that is...it was very scary and made me and Nix really jump. Turned out to be something to do with her phone and the battery going...is it too much to ask that she keep a check on these things, nearly gave me a heart attack.  It hasn’t stopped raining all day so there are only photos of me wet. I didn’t stay wet for long, I blotted myself off on the sofa first and then Nix’s bed. She thought there were towels on it but I’d dug them all up. The best news today is

Big Boats and Little Dogs

Image
 There was a very big boat making a lot of noise when we got to the beach this morning. Nix thought that it was very interesting, me not so much. I suppose it shows just how boring Nix’s life really is.  We went down the river this afternoon. You know how Nix has always been scared of going over the bridge over the busy road. Well now she’s decided she doesn’t like going under the busy road either. I think the lockdown thingy has finally done it’s worst. She says it’s worse coming back because she can see it in the distance and knows she’s got to go under it eventually. I like it under there, it’s really noisy and you can hear the lorries above you racing along.  I like to think I took her mind off going under the bridge by perfecting another one of my annoying habits. I like to walk right behind her and when she looks over her right shoulder to make sure I’m still there I overtake her on the left. She thinks I’ve gone AWOL and starts panicking and calling me but I’m behind her all the
