Simples!

I've been for a drive out to Snugburys this afternoon to see their straw meerkat sculpture. Of course, I had to sample an ice-cream whilst there....honeycomb, yum.

They also had some rather cute Kune Kune piglets.....delicious with apple sauce.

Nothing's safe

It would appear that the local Homewatch scheme isn't really working, there was a large sign between the two posts!

A few more Barney photos

Three months old and growing rapidly!

Barney loves collecting sticks

In a bit of a tangle

Preparing for take-off!

"Where have all those pansies gone?"

"They have to be here somewhere"

The post with no name

How has your weekend been. Mine's been fairly relaxing, apart from having to do the housework and chase Barney round the garden a few hundred times (and fish him out of the pond a couple of times too).
I had my friends over on Saturday. It all started so civilised, I had even baked cakes for the occasion...then Barney decided to make an entrance. Within the space of 30 seconds he had caused absolute chaos, weeing on my friend's foot (fortunately he saw the funny side!) and then tipping over a vase of lilies that were on my hearth- it took me quite a while to remove the orange pollen stains from my pale coloured carpet. Fortunately, Barney redeemed himself the next day, after his disgraceful(!) behaviour, by being impecably well-behaved on his first walk. I'm sure it won't last!
Today, I've been for a walk and nearly got stampeded by a flock of sheep. I decided against walking through the field of cows.
Just before their friends decided to stampede

Safely on the other side of the fence

I have a busy week at work ahead. Last week I took a group of 30 disabled children and young people to Camelot Theme Park, trained a group of volunteers, learned how to change a colostomy and urostomy bag (not my own I hasten to add), and got asked out by a lecherous coach-driver...let's see if this week can be any more bizarre.
