A Walk To The Park Today 🙂



 I know we’re very lucky to live so close to the beach but a dog can get a bit bored with the same old boardwalk. As I’ve done so well since my falls Nix said we could go to the Rec this afternoon. We didn’t go as far as the little wood but I had a really great walk and I met this really nice couple who were throwing a ball for their cockerpoo. I really wanted them to throw it for me but meanie Nix said no in case I fell over. I caused a fuss but to no avail 😞





Nix’s Sweet Peas are still doing really well. There are some new ones growing and they have a proper Sweet Pea scent. They are pinky white with a lilac edging and they are very pretty. I hope the French beans do as well because I think I might like them and if they’re not too high I can help myself whenever I want. I expect I used to get French beans when I lived in Monaco for the first two years of my life. 




Tomorrow we have the whole day free so far. We might go to Brooklands park and stop off at the café for a coffee. There is a special place that we park and it’s not too long a walk to the café so I’m looking forward to that. I’m hoping there might be some lemon drizzle. We’d also like to go and see Sheila one day this week, she has been in hospital and is home now. She has broken her ankle so she won’t be able to get out much and I’d definitely like to go and see her. 






The church Summer Fayre was very successful. The total hasn’t been added up yet but it looks like it will easily be more than last year. Jill who is our chief fundraiser has done an amazing job as have all the volunteers who helped out. Just to set everything up and then dismantle it again takes for ever and there were lovely crafts and cakes and things to buy. The church hall was full of stalls and places to sit and have a strawberry tea and the church itself had lots of stalls too. I should have liked to have gone but it was too hot but maybe next year 🙏



Did I tell you…there was this chap out at sea the other day and his little boat started to let in water. He didn’t have a mobile phone with him but guess what. There was this man who drives one of the very tall cranes on the other side of the river which is quite a long way from the sea and he saw him struggling. He called the coastguard and they went out and rescued him. They were bailing out the water with their helmets…they are very brave and what a clever crane driver  👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I hope the link works…

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 hos...

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 ...

Apparently I’m Always in the Way

Image
So Nix doesn’t understand why I am always behind her, she said it’s starting to annoy her apart from being very dangerous. She says if she falls over me and breaks her hip who’s going to look after me. Have you seen her hips, it’d take a sledgehammer to break one of those. Anyway she keeps saying there’s only one way out of the bungalow so I don’t need to follow her around everywhere. That’s not strictly true because there are doors at the back and a door at the side. She could escape without me through any of those...I must be vigilant at all times. So now she has settled down to finish getting my blog into print and it really is painful to watch. She says it takes twelve taps on the iPad to add one photograph on one day of the blog. She also says if there are thirty days in the month that will take her 360 taps. She’s got six months left to do... I shouldn’t hold your breath for this blog if I was you.  There will of course be a quicker way to do it which she will discover next y...
