Anotha perfect day here at tha Greyhound Country Inn. Lovin the place, tha location, tha atmosphere… an She loves the food an tha bed as well! Even got a photo of tha blue sky. We left for Buckfast Abbey afta breakfast (She says it’s all yummy but as I’m left up in tha room I wouldn’t know now would I?) Buckfast Abbey was a great place, still used by the monks, it was beautiful…. an had a shop full of […]
Made some great new friends today. Took Stef, Her an M&M ta Hawkridge Bird of Prey Centre in Exmouth. Another lovely sunny but fresh day an a bit windy up high. Sharon was nice enough ta give us an up close opportunity ta study the birdies an all the females were goin gaga! No bloke back home is gonna pick on me now that Baldrick tha Bald Eagle is my best buddy. Tha flight show was fantastic an informative. I […]
Gettin up early ta go see tha Antiques Roadshow at Trelissick was not a problem. Tha 2 hour trip was not a problem. Tha weather was great an the camera was charged, Audrey (the SatNav) was plugged in an ready ta assist so off we went! Nothin like on TV, but glad we went, an I got my photo taken with a couple of people but no-one seemed to recognise me yet. Don’t think attendin is as good as watchin […]
With tha weather back ta brilliant, we returned ta Escot where I again had a go at makin friends with tha Red Squirrel ‘Flower’. My easy goin Aussie charm an larrikin ways appeared ta work an I got a bit more attention. I think she may be a bit too excitable for tha likes of this young wombat though, I’d never keep up. Got some poo shots from tha small clawed otters, an watched them behavin like Thorpee in […]
Awesome afternoon now, sun is shinin, birds are singin, sky is mostly blue….. A lot different to this mornin when we eaded out to tha Donkey Sanctuary and Escot. First off tha Donkeys were all inside, not only cause they were gettin a manicure an pedicure, but cause they are precious an didn’t like gettin their feet wet. No photos with me as She stuffed me inta the backpack and then forgot all about me* She did get a photo […]
Today we left Bath an headed towards Feniton. It was a drive through hair-raising one car width lanes with towerin shrubberies on both sides of tha road. She is an OK driver I guess; Mark was the sign spotter an Melissa got ta interprete Audrey (our crazy English gps) an follow on tha maps. Between tha three of them we manage ta get where we are headin alive an well. The first stop on tha way here was […]
This mornings trip was ta Avebury Standing Stones. A true Henge and with so many stones still in place it was great. I sat in tha devils chair. If She had managed to run 50 times around it, I would have been able to speak to tha devil. Too bad we can’t prove it hey? Tha other stone with tha sharp looking edges was attacked by “Stonekiller” who went around trying ta deface or knock down standing stones. He tried ta […]
Happy birthday ta Mark 🙂 Happy un-birthday ta me! It’s my blog an I can celebrate if I want to. Today we went for a bit of culture. Tha Jane Austin festival is on an there was a parade of lotsa people all dolled up in their best JA finery. They looked very elegant and so I decided to get a bit more class inta this blog now. Should be bonser mate. Visited the […]
Yesterday I was all excited going ta Castle Coome. Well we looked an we looked but there was NO castle. Turned out ta be tha name of the prettiest village so not tooooo bad. Her camera threw a tanty so no photos. Today I was wantin a REAL castle, battlements, arrow slits, moat… you know what a castle should be right? So Malissa googled ‘real castles near Bath’ and Farleigh Hungerford Castle came up. 14th Century fortress mainly in ruins […]
Today Bath was the finish ov the ‘Tour of Britain’ bike race! So we decided ta go for a drive ta Dyrham Park to stay away from all the hoomans . She got a photo of all tha blue sky too. Comin down the drive the view was spektacula, even good enough ta make me feel a bit gooy. I think all tha grass looks a bit fake, it’s so bloomin green. Tha trees were giant. Some were […]
