Morning.
Trying for a lazy day today

Eye is ere. Brekfust be add. Food choppin terday.

Wee dog got me up before 5 today - caught short! At first, I ignored 'is request so he recruited the big 'un to make a more 'forcefull' request! Came back soon to collect 'is 'pillow' and off 'e went out again. It was dark, very dark, so I made me tea and returned to bed, the big'un was already snoring, back in 'is bed.
Having had my breakfast and the daily meeting with their canine friends be completed, I served up their brekerdins and they are now racing around the garden following all their well-worn and very muddy tracks. I thought it was too good to be true - the drizzly rain has started.
Have a good day folks.

Latest 'entertainment' - the Hunt has come along. My two are silently observing their movements through the fence obviously weighing up their chances of two against 20 hounds, is ...nil, so they are just quietly watching. Pity as I would have liked them to be barking and upsetting the lot.

I hope it was a legal drag hunt??

it’s been some years since iv been to wales and watched beagle footpacks on the hills. (You have to be fit to keep up with drag hunts)

Im not always a fan of hunting.& they still want you to pay to ride/support these. If the fox gets away fair play. I see more foxes walking/deceased by the road than iv seen caught.
The hunt was banned from the land in Kent due to pheasants but I’m sure the foxes knew this & would jump the fence.
There were 2 dens on the land. If you remove them others would have appeared.

I am not a fan of fox hunting at all but I'm even more against it when done illegally.
I am not a fan of the fox either, he's a very nasty, cruel operator but this does not give us the right to act in the same way - cruelly. There are other more humane ways to exterminate pests.

We get quite a number 'passing through' and have been known to have two stop and peer into our kitchen through the patio doors! They looked at us and we looked at them - it was dark out - and they then just ambled off into the night. She was quite a catch, he was a scrawny looking creature!

First snowflake and they're all shut around here. I can't remember the school ever being shut because of snow when I was young, it was worth getting in early to watch the language teachers try and get up the hill in their 2CV's
