We’re taking a short break. It’s not you, it’s me. I feel the weight & (let’s be honest) completely self imposed pressure of social media growing in my head. The things we do to ourselves, huh? 😂 And when that happens, it’s time for a refresh.

Hobbes went to his final rest yesterday, quietly & gently. His tremendous spirit was let down by his poor body. Far too soon. Dogs are wonderful. He was extraordinary. He will be missed terribly by his family. And all those whose days he brightened in some way. #HobbesForever

This morning, an old woman hesitated, stopping me as Pippin & I went by. “I just want to say, your photos of the light on the water give me so much joy.” I didn’t know who they were (they only follow, never post) but it absolutely MADE my day. ☺️❤️

It gives me great pleasure to introduce the newest member of our family. Meet ‘Pippin’. “A fool of a Took!” We were looking for a dog that would remind us of Hobbes, but would also be different enough. Hobbes was a Cockapoo. This guy is all Cock. (Mostly?) 😂 And he’s beautiful.

Hobbes is not well. While he recovers, we’ll go for gentle walks at sunrise as usual, but I’ll not be posting any pictures of him for a wee while. Please, please encourage people to dispose of ALL their rubbish from parks & beaches. It’s not doing the wildlife any favours. 😔
