Bird at Silloth

Sunshine and a bit of frost greeted us this morning so Charlie ensured mum and dad were up early because we wanted a good walk, no excuses. Floods, gales and horrid weather has kept us close to home for too long and today it was time for Silloth. Over the last week we have seen [...]

Bumper apple crop

When will the rain ever stop and we can get out for a good long walk? Over the last several days we must have had many centimeters of rain and we are now starting to get bored of it. Running around and sulking is all we seem to be doing recently and it is also very [...]

Barriers erected for flood defence work

It is holiday time again when the rain pours and inconsiderate people keep us awake. Charlie and I were on sentry duty overnight when we heard the approach of the screamers. These selfish humans are a nocturnal evolution of the daytime human and are seen walking in a wobbly, snake-like way down the pavements and [...]

We want some sun. We are both getting a bit bored of the rain. It is a bit confusing for the old brain when you go out for a tiddles and your back is getting soaked! One other downside to the rain and wind is that is rattles on the windows and the wind makes [...]
