8th day finally

About time that I posted some more news about us. There seemed very little to report, not like Louise, but then she leeds (or is it leads?) such a busy life with her twosome.

I think here Spring has finally sprung, the daffodils are out all over the place some times too much of a good thing for me, all that yellow. But the magnolia next door is full of buds and flowers; and my camelia, in a pot which I was given last year by the In Stitches members as a thank you for what they said was my hard work, something I was not aware of at all. Any way my camelia is in full bloom after John put the put on the patio table and I was able to take a few pix. I even managed to capture a busy bee gathering honey and pollen.

Today we went out with the Jellies for their daily walk and Nellie disappeared once or twice. She roams far and wide, but after whistling for her she will always return. When we got to place where we had to turn back she was no where to be seen. A lot of whistling from me and from John, then my mobile phone rang; no she hasn't learnt to use that yet although I wouldn't put it past her, but someone had found her and contacted me to say that she had been chasing a fox right into their farm yard and that they had her. And to think we are not allow to "hunt foxes with dogs". But was I glad that I had their ID disks made with both our landline phone and my mobile # for Nellie, Jed's has John mobile # on it but he always comes back every now to see where we are. Much more the sort of dog you like to take for a walk. And was SO glad I had taken my mobile.

This is all for today. We are off to London tomorrow to visit the Greenpeace ship at Canary Wharf. An early start for us: 8 am off. I'll take my camera. So watch this space.
