Hello Woofers!
Daisy here and so is Old Two Legs!
You know the last time I saw him was when he was packing to go away. I was snoozing on top of his shirts so he couldn't pack them!
After a while I got thrown off so I went and hid his socks under the bed but he only got some more!
Well, off he went and I had a little snivel as I watched him drive off in the big car!
He left me so he could go off with cousin Alun to see the National Memorial Arboretum up near Litchfield.
Now this place has over 400 memorials dedicated to both military and civilian organisations. OTL and Alun spent two days wandering around and you know, dogs are allowed to go in but have to be on leads, plus you have to have a pack of poo bags as well!
So, I could have gone with them!
There was a memorial to the Veterinary Corps, and one to the horses as well.
In the chapel there was a cross on the table that when eleven arrived, a shaft of sunlight shone down and illuminated a cross, every day of the year.
The whole Arboretum just oozed symbolism.
This is the Armed Forces Memorial which has the name of every British soldier killed in action.
There was a memorial for all those who were 'Shot at Dawn', the youngest was seventeen years old, he shouldn't have been in the army!
A very moving talk given by one of the staff with posts in the back ground for every soldier who was given reprieve a few years ago.
We found a bit of the Burma railway track that was brought back from Burma, strange that it was made in England, shipped to Burma and used on the railway.
From the Burma Railway.
There were memorials to Kenya Police, UDR, Singapore
Police, The Gurkha Regiment and so many more..
Alun asked to be photographed at his regiment’s memorial.
So, after two days tramping around the arboretum OTL finally arrived back home and I must admit, he got the biggest licking he has ever had, day and night!
Tomorrow it's all back to work again!
Bye for now.
Luv,
Daisy
Yo Daisy, well I missed you while OTL was away. Wot smashing pictures but the best one for me is the one of you Daisy. It's a real shame they didn't take you with them, but then that would mean Mrs TM would have been left on her own and that would be sad. Well done you for staying behind and guarding her and looking after her. I hope a treat came home with OTL for you Daisy. We had a quiet weekend here on account of my mum working so that meant I had to do guarding while she was out even though my boy had the weekend off, he's not much good at guarding you know. I must admit I'm still a tad tired from all that work. Hope you all had a good night last night welcoming OTL back home. Take care and stay safe all. Love, licks and sniffs from little Arch and the others. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
