Today is as yesterday, I am depressed to say. I am beginning to think beautiful Rutland might well be better exchanged for somewhere sunnier or warmer. It is dank and miserable, there is but one change; it is now raining instead of the sleet and snow experienced yesterday. My walk in the afternoon was accompanied by the only segment of sunshine that was available, and for this we must be grateful. By some nifty foot work on my part I was deemed presentable after just towelling off, one has to... Read Full Story

It looks very much as if it will be more of the same, weather wise, today as yesterday. Another dark, dank day appears on my horizon, sleet, snow. Perhaps there will be a little sunshine later, but it really is a question of who knows. Even Accuweather with their normally optimistic look ahead cannot give me any idea of when the plastic bowl pergatory will end. There have been two dogs featured on the oblong box today, one a Great Dane the tallest dog in the world apparently and another a... Read Full Story

It is black, grey and dank, I can report from my window ledge in beautiful Rutland. It is to be hoped we will not need to build an ark, as sometimes it looks as if we are threatened by a sea of mud; use of the plastic bowl torture, to wash the paws after a walk is now the norm, so even my sunny spirits are severely tested. My scribe still moans about certain elements of the computer which defy her. She thought her spelling and grammar perfect (a rare occurrence) until she realised that Word... Read Full Story

I would like to say that, in case anyone was worried about me last week, I was not bullied or intimidated while I was lost from cyber space and, as promised, I am returned eventually. Bullying is a phrase that seems fashionable at the moment. It would take something to bully or intimidate Moi, I can assure you. My self esteem is such that bullying me would be a complete waste of time. She says I am extremely thick skinned, whatever that means. It has been an interesting, if blog free, week...

It is wet, cold and foggy here in Beautiful Rutland; another day of the wet weather walks that are so very boring. Anything would do to stop the monotony. I know that I am due a visit to the hairdresser, the amount of time spent under the brush tells me this. I do enjoy my long haired persona, although I do attract mud, brambles, thistles and such detritus (a lovely word to describe such objectionable material), in large amounts whilst waltzing around my fields. She had cancelled my usual... Read Full Story

Cold wet and miserable yet again, I think beautiful Rutland is still out there, but it is hard to see its potential with the weather’s endeavours to stay in this depressive mode. Talking of depressive modes we will now talk of the Daily Telegraph’s front page expose, on Saturday. We are not amused. It is rarely that my necessary interloper and I have common ground on anything, but this weekend we shared a moment of camaraderie and outrage. I repeat again for effect you understand, that the...

Our visitors have been and gone. They arrived yesterday afternoon in time for my afternoon walk, but have disappeared it would seem just after breakfast. Not a very long stay; I am not impressed, this is a severe disappointment. I think they have gone to visit another dog, or is this just the worries of a suspicious mind? A new arrival also yesterday was the long awaited; with I must admit some trepidation, Tump Cottage snowdrops. That is me off the hook. However, research for yesterday’s... Read Full Story

After problems with the server on Thursday, we now have our problems on the home computer, it would not boot up at all yesterday. I have a good idea who is to blame. She uses the political phrase, ’I have done nothing wrong’ too often for my liking. She says it is like being an ex-smoker no one believes you have not had a secret puff; and that she really has done nothing wrong. My blog, you must understand, is in the expert hands of a person who only has to sit near a computer and it has a... Read Full Story
