Just Too Hot!

Hi Woofers!

We are all hot and bothered!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty The Monster Ferret!

What a day! We started out with a stiff breeze coming in off the sea but that didn't last too long and out came the sun. Eric was all for getting down and having a good run along the Sea Wall but after a few steps even he decided to 'Slow Down A Bit'!

Hang on, this is still hot from yesterday!
 Old Two Legs told him to 'Get up on the Grass' and although the grass was cooler on his paws it was still too hot to rampage!

Maybe it will be cooler on top of the grass path!
We got home and as usual, OTL got his breakfast ready while Eric and May went on their rampage around the house.

May's eye is a little better but most of the time it is closed. OTL says it is almost impossible to get any drops in her eye 'cos as soon as the drops hit her eye she shakes her head and covers OTL with the stuff!

Now, how about this for progress?
Slurp, Slurp, Slurp, Slurp, Slurp, Slurp, Slurp, Slurp!
 That is Wendy and Monty having a communal slurp of Lactose Free Milk at breakfast! Wendy is reducing the number of times she has a go at Monty and he is getting a bit braver as the day pass.
He still gets thrown out of bed if he tries to creep in for a cuddle so he still has a way to go yet but little steps and one day he will allowed to snooze in the same bed!

 At lunchtime OTL doesn't take the ferrets out 'cos it is still too hot, even with an on shore breeze blowing, it is still too hot for ferrets!

It can stay like this all summer, we won't complain at all!
 Mind you, Holly Chops is a bit slower in this weather and just plods along in her own sweet time.

She doesn't do 'Rushing about' unless there is a rabbit up ahead and then it's more of a token chase!

I see the muddy foam is back again!
 We have found that once the sun has passed midday, OTL's office is cool and gets a good breeze blowing in through the windows!

Holly and I plus the ferrets all enjoy a good snooze.

So does OTL but today he over did it. You see, there he was sitting in his office chair that has a tall back and a head rest, back he leans and reaches out for his box file that is under the shelving. Only, he is half asleep and he leans back just a little too much and..................over he goes..........crunch!

Holly and I thought it was great fun and both of us jumped onto him and gave him a good licking, just to make sure he wasn't hurt!

Mind you, he was laughing his tail off!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty The Monster!

Too hot to do any weeding!

Hi Woofers!

Here we are, all hot and bothered!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty Chops the Ferret!

It has been one of those 'Lazy Days', well for Holly and I anyway!

It started off with an early morning walk with Eric down by the sea side but even with a gentle breeze you could tell it was going to get a lot warmer as the day progressed!

After doing the early morning chores, Old Two Legs went out to the garden armed with a syringe full of 'Plant Poison' and set about injecting the stems of this 'Rouge' plant that has found it's way into our garden and pond side. Last year it almost took over everywhere and started to kill off the plants we wanted to grow beside the pond!

This year OTL has been seen creeping around stabbing the stems and squirting the leaves with this plant killer!

It seems to be working but we still get shoots poking up and as soon as that happens, in goes OTL, syringe in hand!

This year the reeds are doing very well and the Pond Lily has made a real come back!

Much better this year!
 Lunchtime we dropped into the village hall with Miss Wendy so young Rosie could give her a cuddle and a drink of water!

And after a drink and a cuddle, back into the cage you go!
Of course, while Wendy was getting cuddles, Holly and I went off looking for any nickable scoff we could find.

You know what? They had eaten all the scoff and didn't leave any for a couple of poor starving woofers!

No scoff, just glue and glitter, again!
We didn't hang about, I mean, no scoff, no strokes, and anyway we were in need of a sniff and a wee!

As we crossed the football field we met up with 'Bob the Staffy Bozo'!

He is a big friendly woofer who thinks that OTL is wonderful 'cos OTL can take his ball away and throw it for him!

Apparently there are not too many Two Legs who can do that!

Yo OTL! Wanna play 'Throw the Ball'?
 OTL threw the ball a few times but Bob started to get warm so we had to stop that game!

One of the things about being away is our path becomes overgrown and we miss out on the sniffs.

OTL says that he has to be very careful 'cos it would be oh so easy to loose a ferret in the long grass!

Nah! No Ferrets or Nargles but was that a Weasel wee?
 All today The Missus has been up the village hall with her mates slinging the glue and glitter around and having a great time. Let's hope she doesn't get too tired 'cos OTL says they are going out tonight!

Seems they have a party to go to and it will be a BBQ, OTL hates BBQ's 'cos they are outside where all the flowers and grass are throwing the pollen about and he has had a couple of bad BBQ's where he eat a sausage that was black on the outside and uncooked in the middle!

OTL says he don't do BBQ's on account he doesn't want to end up with a Grumbly Tum!

Miss May's eye is getting better, well she is opening it a bit more often but OTL still has great difficulty in getting the drops in her eye, most of the drops end up on OTL's face as May shakes her head as soon as the drops hit her eye!

It's a good game!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty Chops the Ferret!

Well, it's a Beach but not like we're used to!

Hi Woofers!


Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty the Monster back again!

I must say, this good weather has lasted a very long time and with only one hiccup when Storm Hector passed us by!

We left little Miss May at home this morning 'cos of her bad eye. Eric didn't mind too much 'cos it enabled him to have sniffs in places she wouldn't want to sniff!

She is very particular where she sniffs, unlike Eric!

Today Old Two Legs got back into line regarding when to clean the ferret cages and the ferrets had left just a little more poo than normal 'cos OTL was a few hours over the normal twenty four hours cycle!

Down on the beach the tide was out first thing but I planned to have a swim at lunchtime but the tide was still coming in up the beach and to be honest, there was some scum on the front of the tide that even I thought was a little too mucky to swim in!

It might be a bit mucky, but it's home!
 Looking back on the holiday, that beach and water was just great but it's a long way to go for a swim!
Trouble is, it's so far away!
 Another thing is the grass, like it is almost the same colour as it was in Scotland, burnt! Mind you, with the amount sunshine that is burning the grass and the lack of growth, you don't need to mow the grass so often!
Yep! Looks the same as in Scotland!
 OTL took the camera out today and managed to find some Soldier Beatles on the thistles along the grass path.

Before too long we expect to see the Dragon Flies out and zooming about all over the place!

When that happens, OTL says that he may go off to Stodmarsh to try photographing the big dragon flies!
It's that time of the year again!
 Today when we let Wendy and Monty out for a morning rampage, there was not the hostility from Wendy and OTL says that spending two weeks in a smaller cage has forced them to be a little friendlier towards each other.

Mind you, that didn't stop Wendy from having a little squeak now and again!

They will end up being friends once Wendy gets over loosing Freddy!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty Babe!

The Grass has Grown!

Hi Woofers!

Here we are, all back safe and sound!

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty Babe!

Yes, late yesterday we arrived out the front of the house and it was still there, in one bit except for the smashed urn in the back garden where we also found a cats collar!

We reckon some pussy cat got beaten up good and proper while we were away!

The garden and pond look lovely and there were flowery stuff growing out of the cracks in the path. A patch of poppies have sprung up at the bottom of the garden where Old Two Legs laid down a bed of stones to keep the weeds away!

There were loads of letters and emails that have needed to be sorted and that's what OTL has been doing today, plus, Miss May had to go to the vet 'cos she has an ulcer in her right eye that is rather sore. She had to be left with the vet so they could have a close look and it took a whiff of gas to knock her out enough for a close inspection!

As normal, OTL came out with a bottle of jollop to put in her eyes twice a day and a bill to pay off the national debt!

We also got an email advising that Holly and I are due for our Vaccination and Healthcheck towards the end of July!

More money!

Down on the sea front I rushed into the sea for a dip at lunchtime but it wasn't the same as Scotland and the water tasted a bit muddy!

All today OTL has been 'Engineering' to get some of the orders out that arrived while we were away.

Holly and I have been enjoying some snoozys while all this has been going on and The Missus has Glynis and Uncle Alun arrive in time for the Kent County Show!

We always enjoy going to the show, the sniffs are fantastic and some of those poos are the size of mountains!

Off to see if dinner is ready, see you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty Babe!

All back together now!

Hi Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran it's us again!


Well now, yesterday we cleaned the caravan and waved the vacuum cleaner around to get rid of all the sand and grass and Brambles Biscuits plus whatever else has fallen on the floor!

The caravan was all tidy ready for The Missus to arrive, only problem, she was many, many miles away and so was the car!

The hire car had been making a bonging sounds as soon as you got over forty five miles an hour, it's been driving us and Old Two Legs potty!

Well, yesterday OTL was looking under the bonnet and decided that he really didn't know what he was looking at or for, I mean, it was all computer controlled!

So he decided to shut the bonnet and he did with just a little more force than you would have expected the bonnet to be shut.

Off we went heading for Glasgow first to pick up the motor.

At or around sixty miles per hour there was no bonging sound, a firm closure of the bonnet had 'de-bonged' the car!

All it needed was a firm hand!

Well, when we got to the car menders we were told that the car was still being worked on and would we like to wait? OTL got permission for us woofers to come into the air conditioned waiting room where we got loads of attention, strokes and a bowl of chilled water!

As they were doing the MOT, they found that one of the suspension springs was cracked, so that was another little surprise for OTL!

Finally, the bills were all paid and off we went heading now towards Dumfries where TM was sitting in a country hotel, sipping coffee and munching on little pastries while waiting for us!

We kept on getting messages from her, like, 'Are you here yet?', no sense of time, that's her problem!

Well, to cut a long journey short, we got back to the caravan around twelve thirty, a little tired and in need of a good snooze!

McHolly was so tired that she didn't bother with her dinner, it was just too much effort!

Not me, I was starving and soon was ear deep in a bowl of Doggy Scoff' and didn't even come up for air!

The next morning even McHolly was still tired but decided that a morning snooze before dinner was the best cure!

Just a quick snooze of an hour or so!
 Me on the other paw decided that a dip in the sea chasing sticks would wake me up!

The only problem is that I tend to over do it a bit and found out that it got rather cold the longer I stayed in the sea!

OTL decided that I was shivering too much and we headed off for the caravan for a rub down with a Doggy Towel then a snooze in the sunshine in the window of the caravan!

After a while, me bits get a bit chilly!
 This afternoon the awning comes down and then we will be ready for an early start for Gretna where we have been promised, Plawn Clackers, Plawn Balls, King Plawns and Bolly, well OTL and TM can have the Bolly!

Now, as Auntie Sue has come back from the Isle of Wight, did she see any red squirrels? We have heard that they still survive there!

Archie Babe, stay away from the fox poo, it can be habit forming!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran.

Sunday is for relaxing!

Hello Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran back again!


What a lot is happening to us this year! As you know the car has a sore spot and is getting fixed plus The Missus just 'Had' to get to Dumfries yesterday so she can do the Master Class for all the Ladies Wot Craft!
I must admit, it was a long days driving, all the way from Campbeltown to Dumfries and back again!

We had several stops on the way and one was at a place OTL had visited when he was into climbing Munro's, in fact, at the time of the visit he was with his Mate Miffy (Married to the Cat Lady) and they were looking for a bird called a Dipper.

They didn't see the bird but Holly and I had a wee each, so that made up for it!

We did see some ferrets, well, they looked like ferrets but McHolly took a close look and said they were otters and on top was an eagle, a Golden Eagle.
Well they look like Ferrets to me!
McHolly and I wandered off down the park a bit until we found a good place for a wee, it was almost the best wee of the day!
Ohhh! I really need this!
 On the way back to the car we passed the eagle again and after close inspection, we reckon that the things on the bottom were indeed Otters. Still, otters are the same family as ferrets only bigger!

Bet they do fishy poo!

Off we went and after a long time we got back to the caravan in time for another wee and some cold chicken.

McHolly was up all night with a Grumbly Tum and of course OTL had to get out of bed, get dressed and take her out. This went on until three thirty when McHolly was all poo'd out!

Mind you, I felt a little grumbly today so I made sure when we went out for our walk, I washed my butt in the sea!

If I wiggle my tail it washes my butt as well!
 We met up with three big woofers who came over for a sniff  but they didn't stay long!

Be Warned, I've got a grumbly tum, so if you know what's good for you, stay away from my butt!
McHolly Chops has such a way with words!

Most of the time we have the beach to ourselves and can do what ever we want, including falling over into the sand!

Oops! Fallen over again!
 Trouble is, Old Two Legs can soon spot when McHolly has been shoving her nose in the sand again!

It was an accident, honest!
Mind you, today has been wonderful as far as the sun goes, I mean, as Holly said, 'It Just Don't get any better than this'!

Perfect, just perfect!
We are off tomorrow to pick up the car and TM, with a bit of luck!

Bye for now!

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran!

Why does it happen to OTL?

Hi Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran back with you!

Well, yesterday we didn't get to put a blog up, sorry, blame Old Two Legs for that!

We got a 4x4 Mercedes car which OTL just loves and he reckons it will do him until he can't drive any more! Problem is, the car and engine work very well but the car is full of sensors that monitor wot's going on.

We got sensors that monitor if the wheels lock and then the computer takes over and lets the brakes on or off to bring the car under control. Then it has sensors that monitor the quality of air going into the engine and makes adjustment to the fuel/air mixture to make it all efficient and sweet smelling!
The engine is stuffed full of sensors to make sure everything is doing wot it should at the right time.

A wonderful engine, just crappy sensors!

We keep getting sensors breaking and that was the reason we had to get the car off to Glasgow and the Mercedes men wiv the correct spanners to fix it!

OTL had to get a transporter down to the caravan site to load up and drive the car and OTL to Lochgilphead where it was loaded onto another, larger transporter and onto Glasgow.

On the way, OTL was in deep conversation with Mercedes, the RAC and Eurocar to try to get everything to click together!

Well it was a 90% success, hire car arrived on time, RAC got the car into Glasgow on time. The Mercedes people said they could fix it, but not until Monday!

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

You can imaging The Missus getting her knickers in a twist!

So, OTL is going to drive her over to a hotel near where her Master Class is taking place so she won't be late, then, on Monday the car should be repaired. So, it's drop off hire car, pick up our car then pick up TM and back to the caravan.

All told it just lengthens our holiday by two days!

Now, we don't mind that too much and on top of that we get to drive around is a sporty Mercedes while and enjoy the sunshine that is covering the Mull of Kintyre!

Today, OTL felt a little tired and spend some time seeing if he could get a ferry across tomorrow but found that the only sailing was at 07:00hr and didn't return until 17:45hr or summat like that and any way it was already booked!

There is another double ferry trip that takes in the Isle of Arran was abandoned as being the weekend there would be too many visitors and a space couldn't be guaranteed!

So, it's back to circumnavigating the Firth of Clyde and landing in Dumfries the long way around. About 250 miles there and 250 miles back, a whole 9 hours excluding traffic jams!

We will sleep well tomorrow night!

Today we had one of those Micro Lite Hairyplanes land on our beach! I mean, it didn't even have permission to land!

Mind you, it didn't crash, it just sort of belly flopped onto the sand, came to a halt and its wing drooped to one side!

It was a good job there was no one on the beach!
 There was plenty of sand for him to land, the tide was out and the sand was quite hard!
 
No, not Barbados, it's Carradale Bay!

 Holly had a close look at the Micro Lite and reckoned she could fly it with no problems, it was only the matter of finding a helmet that would fit her!

Now, Holly reckons it should have a jet engine instead of a propeller!
 Hey! Wot about this then? This is the super duper hire car that OTL has to drive.  The SatNav is like a big TV screen and you operate it with a round sort of computer mouse, OTL hates it cos there are no instructions in the car on how to set it up, so it is all 'Trial & Error' with the emphasis on Error!

It's OK but it would never tow the caravan!

It's OK but OTL says he would never buy one!

OK, that's all for today, a bit long but we are wondering just why is it that we always have a 'Challenge' for OTL when we go on holiday!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran.

We go on an Adventure!

Hi McWoofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran back with you again after a fun filled day!


Last night it poured down but we didn't mind 'cos we were tucked up in bed snoring our tails off!


When we did awake it was all sun shine and balmy breezes!


Old Two Legs was up early cleaning the ferret cages while Holly and I stayed on the bed keeping out of the way 'cos first thing in the morning those ferrets just go completely potty!

When the ferrets are loose then this is the safest place to be!
 After all the jobs were done OTL asked if we wanted to go on and adventure?

Does a dog go Woof?

Off we set heading up the beach until we came to the small river or as they say up here, 'A Wee Burn'

Mind you, looking at the colour we thought someone had poo'd in it! That was until OTL told us it was the peat that made it that colour

Looks good enough to have a paddle in!
Once we had crossed the burn, we came across a sign post telling us what to expect at the end of our walk!

Dunno wot the Co-op or a Whelk has got to do with the walk!
As we climbed up higher through the ferns and grass we could see the whole beach and the camp site laid out before us!
It Looks Brill in the Sun Light!
There were loads of ferns along our way and at times McHolly and I couldn't see where we were going! OTL had to lead us as we hung onto our lead to make sure we didn't fall off the edge and land on the rocks below!
We should have brought our Ice Axe and Crampons!
 As we got higher we came across peat bogs and rocks. It was good fun dancing across the rocks and we didn't fall in once!
We had to be careful but in the end we made it across!
Finally we made it to the end and there on top of the highest point was what is called a Cairn, that's wot they call a Highland pile of stones!
The idea is that you add a stone to the top when you visit!
OTL says that he has added many stones to Cairns when he was climbing Munroe's, so not to miss out, we put our rock on top.

Before.
So, right at the top we placed our rock and we have called it ...........

There is is, right at the very top!
 Well, once we had got up there, telephoned The Missus to look out of the caravan and wave at us, we headed back down. This time OTL let us off our lead 'cos he reckons by now we should be careful enough not to fall in and bogs or off the cliffs!

Come on, I can sniff the way!
 OTL let us go in front to lead the way but we lost the path and had to make our new way down!


Well, this looks like fresh sheep poo!
As we passed the burn again OTL shoved McHolly and me into the burn to wash off all the peat that had stuck to our legs, McHolly didn't want to go in the water but OTL persuaded her in and she got not only her paws but her tummy wet as well!

It was a long walk back to the caravan and after a bite to eat, we fell asleep and were soon snoring our tails off!

OTL included!

We just love adventures!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

Hi McWoofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran!

A Plastic Bin Overload!

Hi McWoofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran! back with you again!

Well, Holly Chops has been sticking her nose in places she shouldn't and as a result, she got the 'Grumbly Tum'! You would have thought that after all that money the vet took off Old Two Legs Miss Holly would be a bit more careful!

Around five this morning The Missus was forced to take Holly out and Holly proved she got the 'Grumblies'!

By the time TM got back,she had the grumblies and it was all Holly's fault for digging her out of the caravan when she could be designing cards!!

OTL got it in the ear as well and as a punishment he was told to take TM into Campbeltown so she could do some 'relaxing shopping'!

So, off we went for our morning jog along the beach and both McHolly and I sort of 'Fell Over' and had to wriggle to get up again, OTL didn't see it that way, spoilsport that he is!

Oh Dear! I've fallen over again!
 Of course being so close to the ground when we fell over means we can spot the oddities like this thing.
But wot is is Precious?
 Maybe it is a Water Nargle Egg? McHolly wasn't too sure and said she would look it up on the Internetty Thingy when she got back to the caravan.

Unfortunately that wasn't going to happen 'cos we all got bundled into the car and off we went to Campbeltown!

TM did her shopping it the 'Nickle & Dime' emporium which is one of those shops that will sell everything accept food, but they did have some sweeties for sale!

Out she came with an arm full of Bits & Bobs while OTL had to carry these plastic boxes of differing sizes. OTL says it reminds him of a quotation he once heard, it goes something like........

Big Boxes have little boxes upon their backs to bite 'em
and little boxes have smaller boxes, and so ad infinitum!

Well, TM now has loads of boxes in boxes in boxes in boxes!

Back home McHolly and I were getting a bit hungry, I mean, we didn't have any breakfast and our little tummies were doing a rumble you could hear a mile away!

TM got the idea and cooking commenced, right up until TM decided to go to the car to count the boxes again and the smoke alarm went off.

Now, that alarm is loud and on top of that it emits a sound that goes right through you!

When it first went off I shot over OTL's shoulders and hid behind him while poor McHolly stood transfixed to the spot!

What the Woofin' 'eck is that?
It seemed that the world was being invaded by bleeping electronic things! Of course, when TM arrived back, instead of removing the item off the heat that was making the smoke alarm go off, she instead tried to silence the alarm by taking the battery out!

OTL did suggest she look to the cooker and the six foot flames that were sucked out of the caravan roof by the extractor fan!

Things do get exciting sometimes!

This last week or so we have been on a diet of either fish, rice and boiled carrot or chicken and rice and boiled carrots and to be honest, they are quite tasty.

It looks like we will be on them for some time 'cos McHolly Chops has got to loose at least one kilogramme!

I don't but am going along with McHolly as a sisterly gesture of support. The only thing I miss is the choc chip cookies and the shortbread and the twigglets and jumbones and all the other Doggy Treats!

Now we know just how poor Archie Babe feels when he is deprived of his favourite nosh!

I can't wait until she gets rid of the kilo then I can go back to a proper diet of choc chip cookies etc!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran!

Sally's Walk!

Hi Woofers!

It's McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporran! back with you again!

Well, today has been a sunny day with just a little cloud but so far, no rain, but the forecast says there is a chance of rain before midnight but by then we will be tucked up with full tummies and snoring our tails off!

Back to today.

First thing this morning The Missus took Holly and I out for a walk on the beach, there was no one about at all!

We got back just after Old Two Legs had fallen out of bed and was staggering into the shower!

He decided that he would take Monty and Wendy out for a walk after finishing cleaning their cage but before taking May and Eric out!

Of course being ferrets they had a great time digging holes in the sand!

It's about the only time Wendy doesn't attack Monty!
 Mind you, Monty doesn't let his guard drop, Wendy has a habit of creeping up on him and giving him a quick nip behind the ear!

Now, where has she gone now?
 OK, all together now..................................SHE'S BEHIIIIND YOOOOOOO!

We don't have that trouble with May and Eric, they sorted out ages ago that she was in charge!

Don't stray too far dear, I don't want you getting lost!
On our way into the caravan park down a long and winding track there are some signposts pointing out foot paths that form part of the Kintyre Way which is a walking path for those hardy Two Legs who want to spend their holidays marching the pathways and tending blistered feet at night!

One of these paths also had a sign saying 'Sally's Walk'. Last year we saw this but never explored the path 'cos it was so warm and the sea was so inviting that we just didn't have the time!

This year we decided to investigate!

Leaving The Missus 'sorting out' her card making stuff we set off.

Now as I said before, this is part of the Kintyre Way and most of it is on the flat, so no mountains to climb!

To be honest, it is more like a forest path with a few flowers on each side of the path and tree lined in other parts.

A nice gentle path lined with flowers which set OTL's hay fever off!
There were patches of pine tree plantations which seem to fall over as a result of storms rather than harvesting!

Here be Nargles!
 Where the trees were scattered all about in a 'Natural' way, there were many different broad leaf trees including Oak, Ash, Silver Birch and Beech.

The path wasn't very wide but it seemed well kept, however, we didn't see any rabbits!

It would be OK if we could get off these leads!
OTL said he couldn't let us off the lead 'cos the were fields with sheep and lambs munching away on the grass. You think they would get fed up with grass, I mean, us woofers only eat grass if we get a tummy upset!

We got back to the caravan and OTL then took us down to the beach where we got to get off the lead!

I managed to get we half way up my tummy while Holly stayed up the top of the beach sniffing the dried sea weed!

What ever turns you on as they say!

Not sure what we got planned for tomorrow, TM said she wanted to get some more plastic boxes, Holly reckons there will not be enough room in the car for use AND the boxes!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty McSporan
