A Room With A View

What better way to start the day than a cuppa with a view like this.


Followed by a walk like this

Make the most of it Breezey, it's thawing fast.

It's Snowing!

Somebody likes catching snow flakes.

Clearing My Desk

When we moved here we started a wildlife diary which I promised to try and keep going. For quite a while I succeeded in updating it on here each month........
While much of the UK has been having white out conditions for days, we are getting our first glimpse of about 1cm of the white stuff today, so after about six months of looking at the paper records floating on my desk, finally I have got round to transferring it into a more user friendly version!

Play Time

I remembered to get my camera out for Jess' weekly visit. They are the best of pals and both get stupidly excited when they see each other - it's hard to believe that looking at these pictures!

Winter at last

What started out as a beautiful sunrise
Seems to have turned into a winters day

Busy Breeze

What a week for a little dog. Wednesday morning was here regular play time with Jess, her springer friend who is six weeks younger and has been a weekly visitor since they were both tiny (I must get my camera out next week!), then in the afternoon it was off to see Aunty Janet, who has plenty of dogs of her own as well as taking in boarders and residential trainers. Breeze was a little overcome by all the dogs running around the garden!
Then on Friday it was down to the local river for a walk and a swim
Followed on Saturday by a walk up West Fell and over Old Fell. Little fells for a little dog!
Up above the snow line at 1500 feet.

Water, Water Everywhere and Not a Drop To Drink

Another first for Breezey today, one that has been a long time in the planning - her first trip to the seaside. Getting the forecast to tie in with the tide times and a day when we had no other committments seems to have taken months, but after a very sad day yesterday it was lovely to be doing something a bit different today. And she's off......
Leaving a long line on her was a precaution which proved unnecessary, she came running back

and running back
and running back
and then she turned into the CREATURE FROM THE DEEP
A skull as big as her own - what treasure!
One soggy dog
And a few Hebridean Sheep, here as part of a conservation project to help protect the Natterjack Toads which are found in this area
After all that exercise, it's off to our favourite Silloth Chippy for Sunday Lunch
