Old Rockers and The Port!

Hi Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacSnowflake, Mr MacBrambles, Miss MacApril and Miss MacMay back here Again!

Today has been a 'Lazy Day' , a sort of 'Finish the Little Stuff'' type of day.

Old Two Legs over slept 'cos we didn't wake him up. The ferrets had a good night and left the Poo Pot Kicking until every one was awake and up out of bed!

MacApril and MacMay are playing a game with OTL, instead of using the Poo Pot for pooing, they are using it as an arena in which to do their play fighting. The poo is done down the other end of the cage, on the floor!

OTL is trying a new trick, take out the poo pot and just leave a shovel full of cat litter on the floor, let's see what they make of that!

It was super on the beach, the tide was well out and we didn't even get a sniff of water!

We all had a good time and OTL managed to get all his chores done and the ferrets all cleaned and stored out in the awning to get some fresh air and sunshine!

Holly Dog on Guard!

After lunch we headed off to investigate the local villages and ports. We enjoyed Portpatrick and The Missus and OTL even stopped for a bite to eat and a cool drink, Holly and I got to sit in the shade and we even got served some cool water in a drinking bowl!

We explored the viewing sites and at one we could even see Northern Ireland on the horizon. Holly and I didn't want to stay there 'cos it looked a long way down to the sea!

Yeah, seen it now let's go!

There was one place that was making a terrific Booming sound. OTL said it was the sea rushing up the gap and crashing on the end wall.

We didn't like that and quickly passed by!

Boom! Boom!

There were some fishermen on the rocks but we couldn't see how they would get any fish up the rocks!

Fishing for a Fishy for a Little Dishy!

We then headed off to the harbour or as the locals call it, 'The Port'. It was very clean and pretty!

The Port

 There was a Two Legs sitting on a bench doing some water colour painting, of course, TM just had to go up and tell her how she was an artist and would use different colours and some glitter and Brusho Inks and the latest Sweet Poppy Stencil!

We were quite embarrassed 'cos we liked the painting and it looked dead good!

Two Artists and Us!

 Looking out to sea there was a flag pole and an anchor but no ship! Very strange!

Ships Away!

 Around the corner at the back of The Port, we spotted an arch over a water outlet, it could have been a stream but the arch and the gull on the other side made it look 'Interesting'!

OTL being an Artist!

We had fun laughing at the people walking around the Port, there were some motorcyclist on whacking big motorbikes. Trouble was, they were all well past retiring age!

Rockers?

OTL said they were 'Old Rockers', Holly said that they should all stick to rocking chairs!

Back home to grumble at the rabbits until tomorrow!

Almost forgot, Izzy, we are at the Caravan Club New England Bay site, so, can you remember where the best sniffs are?

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Hi Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacSnowflake, Mr MacBrambles, Miss MacApril and Miss MacMay.

We're Here!

Hi Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacSnowflake, Mr MacBrambles, Miss MacApril and Miss MacMay here!

Finally we are here and Old McTwo Legs has finally got it all set up and he is slurping on the first cold beer!

It all started on Monday morning, early, too early!

We were down the beach almost before the sun came up! You can tell that from the photo OTL took.

It's just TOO EARLY!

After a quick Wee and a Poo we all headed for home and the last bits to get stashed away, like, Ferrets and Woofers!

Now, we would have got away at nine, as planned but we had problems with the nose weight, that is, the caravan nose weight. You see The Missus was left to organise the packing, (after we had been sneaky) but when checked, the nose weight was too much, so we spent an hour re-arranging all the stuff in the caravan, trying to lighten the load!

Finally we got away but much later than we wanted to!

We were all singing songs on the way up and laughing at the rain 'cos it was making everyone slow down to forty miles an hour on the motorway! There was loads of it!

We stopped at a service station for a wee and a cup of tea, but before the tea OTL had to sort out one of the front blinds. It looks like we have had a leak or summat 'cos the screw holding the plastic frame had come loose, so OTL decided to remove the blind and get it fixed when we get back!

Having got that sorted TM said that the catch on the fridge had snapped off! What a start to the holiday!

Now, we always stop overnight at Gretna Green but this time we turned left at Gretna and headed on towards our destination, Drummore. Now OTL hadn't realised that Drummore is in fact a further one hundred miles away from Gretna! We had planned to arrive about five or six but it was such a slow journey that we had to telephone ahead to warn them we would be late!

We didn't arrive until nine thirty and by then it was pitch black! We had to stop overnight in the 'Late Arrivals' section which OTL said it was like being in the Naughty Corner!

The ferrets were taken into the caravan to sleep and Miss MacApril and Miss MacMay were so excited, not ever having been away on holiday before, started to have a play fight!

The only thing was, they did it in the Poo Pot! All the poo got thrown out and the cat litter got spread all over the place, including the caravan!

TM was not a happy bunny!

Talking of bunnies, while OTL has been putting the awning up and generally getting the caravan all sorted, Holly and I have been snoozing on the grass watching the rabbits. You see, us woofers must be kept on leads all the time and the rabbits have sussed it! The cheeky devils just sit there pulling faces at us!

Cheeky Little Bunnies!

Everywhere we went, there was a bunch of rabbits blowing raspberries!

Except of course, on the beach! 

This is a BIG Beach!

You know, we reckon that this beach could even be longer and wider that the beach in Wales!

Of course, we are let off our lead on the beach so we can have a good run!

You know what? Even Holly got her paws wet!

Wet and soggy paws!

There were a couple of shallow streams crossing the beach to the sea and OTL said that the ripples made by the water running over the sand looked like snakes!

Well, if you sort of squint and close one eye they could be snakes!

We headed back to the caravan and those rabbits were still there, chomping away on the grass and not taking any notice of us!

If I ever get off this lead!

 There was a big notice up at reception, Fish & Chip van calls Tuesday at five!

TM says it's a good idea to get some fish and chips and she even got out a bottle of Bollinger to help wash the chips down!

TM queueing and dreaming of a bottle of Bollinger!

So that's it for the moment, we are all here in the sunshine and a little wind and looking forward to getting back onto the beach tomorrow!

Bye bye for now.

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacSnowflake, Mr MacBrambles, Miss MacApril and Miss MacMay

Off Tomorrow!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Mr Brambles, Miss April and Miss May here!

Oooo! It's getting all exciting here, tomorrow we are off and today we have been packing things in the caravan and the car. Both ferret cages are in the car complete with Poo Pots and food bowls and water bottles! Old Two Legs has pinched the two corner sleeping bags that hang up in a corner of the cage, of course! That's why they're called Corner Sleeping Bags! They are now in the Holiday Cages.

The ferrets have to put up with a couple of round sleeping beds until the morning!

Miss May 'Fell' into Snowflake and Brambles cage this morning and silly girl, she woke Snowflake up, 'cos she stuck her nose in where Snowflake was sleeping and Snowflake didn't like it, and, that's when the fight started!

OTL was on hand to separate the pair and although there was a lot of noise, there was very little damage!

In fact, Snowflake had a cuddle with OTL then went back to sleep!

May was right put out and when she was put back into her own cage, she picked on April and had to go into the 'Naughty Cage' until she cooled down!

It was a bit cool and damp this morning when we went out for our walk and when we arrived, we spotted a couple of rabbits from the car.

That was it, Holly was woofing like mad to get out and chase them, and, as soon as OTL opened the car door, we were off like a couple of rockets!

Unfortunately, Holly's barking had scared the rabbits and they had headed back home, so, by the time we got out, they had gone!
 

OK, Where did they go?

We had a good time down on the beach, Holly found something to roll in and I got to dig a hole!

A woofer came along that we had seen before but never actually met, nose to nose!

OTL said hello to him and found out his name was Barney! So now we have Barney I, II and III!

The Names Barney, Barney De Woof!

To begin with he looked all too fierce but within a few seconds he was slobbering all over OTL!

He didn't hang about 'cos he was on a strict training schedule and needed to get going! 

When we got up to the Sea Wall, Holly spotted Albert wandering along the path. Off she went, galloping along the wall and soon arrived where Albert was sniffing.

That was it, he stopped immediately and the pair of them danced about for a bit!

Albert and The Tart!

I think that Albert is a bit of a rough looking dog and I'm a bit wary of him. Holly on the other paw, she thinks he is a 'Sweetheart'!

Yeah! What ever turns you on Tart Chops!

Back home OTL has been sneaking our stuff into the caravan and the car. He has told us that all the nibbles, including some soft chicken strips for the ferrets, has been stashed away in the top cupboards. He has also managed to take some of The Missus's stuff from one cupboard and pile it into a cupboard that she has stored some other crafty stuff. That means she thinks she has more stuff than there is really there!

Crafty or wot?

Trouble is, when she finds out what has happened, it will be too late to go back home for more stuff, so, she will be wanting to go to Gretna Green Designer Outlet Centre for more stash!

Lunchtime it was raining. Not much but enough to get damp. April came out of the ferret bag, had a Wee and a Poo then climbed straight back and refused to come out until the car was in sight!

Miss May spent more time running and sniffing and getting wet! It was a good job that OTL had brought the towel with him 'cos we all got a good rub down when we got back to the car!

This way to the car, Holly's got the map!

Back home it was the final bits to be loaded and then we are all to have an early night 'cos we have to be up early in the morning!

So, bye bye for now and tomorrow the blog might be a little late, it all depends on the traffic on the road 'Up North'!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Mr Brambles, Miss April and Miss May.

Rain and Shine!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Mr Brambles, Miss April and Miss May here again!

What a day!

First of all, before we left home, Old Two Legs got our rain coats out and invited us to put them on. Now, I know we are Woofers and sometimes we just ignore what Two Legs say but we aren't that daft not to know that Rain Coats mean Wet Rain on our heads!

So, with a little sulk from both Holly and me, we ended up with our coats on and heading for the front door!

We looked out side and.....................it was raining!

Now, we knew that it was going to be wet 'cos OTL didn't take the camera with him and on top of that, he put on his Australian Riding Coat which has wax oil in every bit of cloth and the rain comes off so quickly that it runs straight onto his lower leg and into his boots!

Although it rained all the way to the beach, it did leave off as we headed towards the car park again!

Back home we got a second rub down with our towel and a roll about on the bed while OTL did his chores and the ferrets had a rampage!

May and April have this super game of 'Pretend Fighting' and roll about on the floor grabbing each other by the scruff of the neck and rolling over and over. They are Dooking and Chirping with delight and sometimes they both broke off and chased OTL and grabbed his hand or arm!

Now, when a ferret is getting excited like that they sometimes bite down a little harder that they should and it make OTL jump but he knows they are playing and is extra careful when they get near!

Mind you, it doesn't stop him from joining in with the 'Rough and Tumble'!

Then, after all that, it was off to the Caravan Shop for a bottle of  'Pink Rinse Aid' for the loo and a new cover for the gas water heater.

We had to stay in the car but we had fun catching the eye of the TL's who were looking at caravans and then shaking our heads slowly from side to side in disapproval of the caravan, like we knew what we were talking about, poor things were all confused by the time we left!

We got home, collected the ferrets and off we went to the beach again, this time, it was all sunshine and the tide was in as well!

Miss May discovered that when she went for a little dig in the sand, not looking behind her, up came a wave and washed her butt again!

She said she was getting used to it anyway and on top of that she had heard that Surf made everything clean!

What do you mean, wrong sort of Surf?

Miss April ran alongside the Surf but managed to keep dry'ish, well, she got her paws wet but as she says she likes the water it didn't really matter!

Can't catch me!

 I found a stick and woofed at OTL to throw it in, which he did, Holly sat up on the Sea Wall and refused to get involved!

I didn't care, it was good to have a swim 'cos I hadn't had one for ages!

Can you find a shorter stick?

 OTL was being chased by the ferrets who wanted to be carried along the beach and I wanted OTL to throw the stick again, poor lad, he ended up getting so confused he nearly threw the ferrets in the water for me to get and he nearly put the stick in the ferret bag!

I'm sure he's cracking up!

NO! Throw the Woofing STICK!

We all had a good time and soon it was time to get home 'cos OTL had to pick The Missus up from her Master Class, loads of boxes of stuff!

When she got back we gave her the Woofers Welcome, then settled down to see what was for dinner and whether or not we could mug some of it!

Last day tomorrow and then we are off to Scotland, so last minute packing and OTL's secret plan to get our stuff in the caravan!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Mr Brambles, Miss April and Miss May.

Still Packing!

Hi Woofers!

It's Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Mr Brambles, Miss April and Miss May back to see you again!

Well, it has been an exhausting day today, loads of running about and chasing plus more packing and Snowflake and Brambles got a corner sleeping place just like May and April!

This morning we were heading towards the beach when Old Two Legs pulled off the side of the road and rushed around to the back of the car where he had stored his camera. Now, OK, the sun was out and there was some mist over the fields and he was clicking away!

I will admit, we have seen better but that will have to wait until October or November to get a really good Sunrise over the Fields!

Sunrise over the Fields!

When we got to the beach the sun had burnt away all the mist so we all played a game of 'Holes'.

I was just leaving one hole and heading towards a new one when both ferrets came up and asked if I wanted my ears licking!

Lick your ears Missus?

Now I know it's a 'Ferret Thing' to lick ears but us Woofers aren't really into that stuff.

Unless of course your name is OTL and we can catch him fast asleep in bed. Then we not only give his ears a lick but his head and behind his ears and his bald patch and his forehead!

I know they mean well but I just couldn't feel safe with a Ferret in my ear!

Holly and I decided to pass on the offer and headed off to find some sniffs!

We got back home and OTL was finishing the last of his 'Panic Jobs' before the holidays. Mid morning the Post Man called with the new Corner Sleeping Bag for Brambles and Snowflake. As soon as OTL hung it up in the cage, they were both inside it and snoozing their tails off!

Just right for a snooze!

Lunchtime came and we were out again in the sunshine. I hope it keeps up like this while we are away, it will be great fun running along the beach and hunting rabbits in the gorse bushes!

Lunchtime I very nearly got some sandwiches but the fisherman had eaten them all before we got down there!

Another Mugging!

Both ferrets enjoyed some more digging in the grass and got covered in earth!

Then, off they went down onto the beach and decided that what they wanted was a wee and to wash their paws of the mud that had stuck on while they had been digging.

Come on, let's get on the beach and wash this dirt off our claws!

So, there they were, on the wet sand, having a little dig to get the hole full of water ready for a wash, when, without warning, this whopping great wave came rushing up the beach and ..........

Got 'em!

Oh No! Not the Wet Butt again!

That was it, they rushed up the beach and straight into OTL's arms! Maybe they will look behind them next time!

When we got back to the car both of them were a little tired and looking forward to getting home for a longer snooze in their new sleeping bag!

It's Hard Work Having Fun!

Back home we are still packing and we have found out OTL's 'Cunning Plan'! We are going to hide all our stuff under The Missuses stuff so she can't see it!

We will have to wait until Sunday to see if it works!

Just don't mention it to her!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Mr Brambles, Miss April and Miss May.

We have been told!

Hi Woofers!

It's Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Mr Brambles, Miss April and Miss May here!

Now, when we left you last night we were off to a 'Meeting' to discuss the caravan storage and allocation of space.

I don't know what Old Two Legs was expecting but he was told to 'Sit Down and Listen' and, the same went for us as well!

The Missus then told us what was happening and she emphasised each point by smacking the table with her twelve inch ruler!

Scary or Wot!

We were told exactly what space we could have, if we were good, and what space TM had allocated for herself and where we couldn't go 'cos we would disturb TM's stuff!

I think we have ended up with a small cupboard where the toilet rolls are stored and that's for all us Woofers and OTL!

If all meetings are like that I'm glad I don't go to them very often!

OTL says he has 'Plans' but won't tell us just in case we get 'Interrogated' by TM!

OTL says what we don't know we can't tell!

Yeah, but it doesn't stop us getting Interrogated by TM with her twelve inch ruler!

Down on the beach this morning the sun was shining and all the clouds had been blown away!

Both Brambles and Snowflake had fun ferreting around in the rock pools and under the sea weed!

Mmmmm! An 'Interesting Sniff'!

Snowflake was in a good mood and she even offered to lick Holly's ears for her but Holly decided she wasn't that trustful of a ferret nuzzling her ears!

Look on it as a 'Wash and Go'!

Holly never got her ears washed!

Back home it was a good bowl of freshly cooked chicken while OTL was upstairs doing some last minute manufacturing before we shut up the office for a couple of weeks.

We had some fun watching May and April play fighting all around the house and chasing each other!

Now Miss April is a bit smaller than May but she was giving as good as she got! They were rolling around on the floor, grabbing hold of the scruff of each others neck. It was all in play 'cos they weren't screaming like wot they did when they got beaten up by Snowflake!

Then they went off to bed for a snooze before coming out at lunchtime.

The wind had got up and was blowing an Easterly, which is an 'On Shore' wind which makes the waves jump and crash about!

Not ideal for swimming!

Not swimming conditions!

May and April were having fun doing some earth moving by the side of the Sea Wall. OTL says it is good for them to have a dig there 'cos the digging helps keep their claws short so OTL doesn't have to trim them that often. In fact, he has not done their claws since they arrived here, however, he has done Brambles and Snowflake, they are not that into digging in the earth, just the sand on the beach, and that's not so wearing on the claws!

Another Channel Tunnel?

Down on the beach I couldn't resist a little paddle in the surf, it feels so good to get your paws wet!

Just a little paddle!

May, who is fascinated by the sea very nearly got into deep water! She didn't know the wave would come so far up the beach!

That was a near one!

We walked down the Sea Wall and OTL suggested that maybe Holly would fancy a little paddle but as Holly said..............

'In Yer Dreams Sunshine!'

So, back home to sort out our nibbles and try to get them all into a Tesco's Bag!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Mr Brambles, Miss April and Miss May!

More Packing and the Ferret Cage goes sideways into the caravan!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Mr Brambles, Miss April and Miss May here again!

We have been busy Woofers today, I mean, so much packing and so little space!

You know, we have let The Missus organise the packing and while we see some of our stuff going in the caravan, we have noticed that the van seems to 'Sag' a bit at the back where she has stashed her stuff!

I can see the back end of the caravan falling off if we hit a bump!

We, well, TM, has decided that we can't take the big ferret cages 'cos there just ain't the room, so, the ferrets will have to stay in the smaller cages while we are on site and get double the walks along the beach! TM says that if they are tired enough the won't need much room to sleep and will not care that the cage is smaller!

What worries Holly and me is..........what is she going to 'Economise' on as far as us Woofers go?

Reduction in food?
Reduce the sleeping space?
Cut down on the number of chews?
Most worrying!

After all that, Old Two Legs wanted to see how the cages would fit going through the caravan door. Well, the smaller one just squeezed through, but we knew it would 'cos we have taken that away before.

However, when it came to fitting the larger cage through the door, it was too big!

TM sorted it though, 'Turn it on it's side!' and it worked!

Trouble is, when we are away and want to bring the cage in for the night, OTL will have to make sure all the water bowls and Poo Pots and Toys and Ferrets, are removed before turning it on the side!

Can you imagine the trouble there would be with Ferret Poo all over the caravan floor mixed with ferret food and water and ferrets!

We are going to have a 'Meeting' tonight to get some things sorted, like how much TM can take and what room is left for us!

It was fun on the beach this morning, Holly and I were digging holes all over the place and we thought it would be a good idea if we left the ferrets in the hole but OTL said that they would only dig themselves out and chase us, so we left the ferrets to 'Ferret About' instead!

This would make a good Ferret Hole!

 Back home we had Lambs Heart waiting and of course, that went down a treat, it was Tails up and Nose down and don't come up for air!

OTL has nearly got his very small camera bag packed. TM has told him that he can't have any more room than a Tesco's Plastic Bag.

OTL is not a Happy Puppy!

Lunchtime it was still cloudy and grey, in fact it was so bad that I didn't even fancy a swim in the sea!

Can't say it looks too inviting today!

 Down on the beach Miss May was demonstrating how a ferret can make use of anything to hand to make a camouflage suit so she can sneak up on Holly!

First you see me then you don't!

Holly did point out that it was a dead give away to see a bunch of sea weed running up the beach with a tail hanging out the back!

Then, to prove how good she was, Holly crept up behind a couple of Two Legs and investigated their food bag and all without them seeing her!

She's dead good at that!

Nothing left!

 There is a travelling bowl that OTL keeps in the car for Holly and me to have a slurp of after our walk.

Just of late the Page Three Girls have been getting in the car first and getting first slurp!

Mmmmm! This is good!

It's Miss April who spends more time drinking but Miss May did suggest that if OTL were to fill it up to the top, they could both go swimming in it!

We could play Boats in it as well!

 We are off for our 'Meeting' now, so, wish us luck!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Mr Brambles, Miss April and Miss May.

Getting ready for the Holiday!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Mr Brambles, Miss April and Miss May here again!

Things are warming up here. The Missus has been out in the caravan getting rid of the spider webs and making everything clean.

Old Two Legs has been making a list of camera stuff he will be taking away with us. He can't take everything 'cos there are double the ferrets and with two cages, double the accommodation!

Down on the beach this morning OTL tried a photo he doesn't do very often, HDR (High-Dynamic-Range)

It's all very computer based and has been described as 'Marmite Photos'! (You either Love it or Hate it!) 

Holly and I aren't too sure if we like it or not, mind you, we do like a bit of toast with a smear of Marmite so does that count?

Coming into Harbour

 Snowflake was climbing the rocks as the ship came in and it was big enough for her to comment!

Now that's a Big One!

Back home we were sorting out the bedding for the ferrets and then making sure our Rain Coats were washed and OTL was going through his lenses trying to decide which ones to take!

Snowflake was helping OTL with the camera gear and she decided he should take the big lens and the Fisheye lens, just in case we see any Aurora Borealis!

Holly was more interested in the list of food that was being ordered for our trip. Things like Chicken Fillets, Teeth Cleaning Chews and stuff like that rates high on Holly's list of 'Important' things!

Lunchtime it was still cloudy and there was a chilly wind blowing in from the North. Miss May enjoyed a long walk almost all the way around the Sea Wall while Miss April cuddled up in OTL's arms and watched the world go by until we got to the beach and she had to run all the way back!

May was full of fun and even tried to sneak up on Holly Dog but Holly is too smart to be caught like that!

I can See Yooo!

While May was after Holly, Miss April was having fun digging holes all along the beach!

A Hole lot of Fun!

Back home to the lists and finding the ferret bedding and our cushions for the car. If there is too much on the list then we want to know where we will be sitting in the car!

OTL says that he will find somewhere for us, maybe on the roof!

Yeah! In his dreams!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Mr Brambles, Miss April and Miss May.

New Kid on the Block!

Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Mr Brambles, Miss April and Miss May here!

We have been introduced today to a new woofer!

Not in our house but rather out on the Sea Wall. You see we met up with Max and Oscar and Bryn and Bailey and there, scampering about, was a little ball of fluff!

Holly spotted her first and went over for a sniff.

'Hmmmm!' says Holly 'You know, we've got ferrets bigger than you!

And what is your name little Miss?

It turns out that this is Boo and she is an Imperial Shih Tzu and she is so young she doesn't know her name yet!

Now, we know there are some small dogs around but we've never seen one this small!

And you all know that these are called 'Lion Dogs' so we just can't wait until she finds her voice and roars at us all!

Hello Boo!

After saying 'Hello' to everyone, Holly and I had a game of 'Chase' amongst the rock wall where the ferrets were playing. We stayed well away from them 'cos we didn't want to tread on them, well, they make such a noise when we tread on them and they have a habit of giving us a nip as well!

Tip Toe through the Ferrets!

We had chicken when we got home and spent time snoozing on the bed while Old Two Legs was busy 'Manufacturing'.

Lunchtime, we took May and April with us down to the beach and told them all about young Boo and how she was a Lion Dog and they should watch out 'cos Lion Dogs are fierce and have big pointy teeth!

What does a Lion sniff like?

 They hunted around for ages looking for Lion Dog sniffs but only got the normal sea side sniffs!

Not a Lion sniff to be had!

 On our way back to the car OTL spotted a sailing ship heading up stream towards London. He said it was a 'Three Master' but it was a long way away and we couldn't see any real detail. OTL took this picture but the lens was too small to show any markings.

Well, we see three masts!

When we got back home OTL looked on the Marine Traffic Web Site and found out that the ship is called 'Tenacious' and she is a 586 ton sailing ship out of Southampton and she was built in 2000 and she sails under the United Kingdom flag!

The web site shows ships position all over the world but OTL uses it to monitor what is off our own bit of shore! Have a look at http://www.marinetraffic.com

It's so exciting watching all the coming and going along the Thames and Medway!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Snowflake, Mr Brambles, Miss April and Miss May.

By the way, do you get Nargles along the Pennine Way?
