2014 Week 15 Day 2

2014 Week 15 Day 2 – After a lazy start (as usual), we set off for an excursion to Brownsea Island, dramatically located in Poole Harbour, and with spectacular views across to the Purbeck Hills. On the island, famous for red squirrels (but not spotted by us as I think we are slightly too NOISY), we […]

2014 Week 15 Day 1

2014 Week 15 Day 1 – A little friendly robin, my favourite bird, came to say hello for a while. On our first night here, Barnaby got burnt by a glowing hot stick from the fire, as his brother had waved it around (oops). Here he is with his scars, though he is happy enough again […]

2013 Week 26

Her first year has flown by.  Her big personality is becoming more apparent every day, and the obstacles to her development are really beginning to frustrate her. Why do things keep getting in her way when she pulls […]
