Navy Peas and stuff like that!

Hi Woofers!

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

We had some fun last night, you see Old Two Legs is always getting nagged by The Missus about what he eats and how he should eat 'Healthy' stuff with loads of fibre in it.

So, just to keep her quiet OTL has agreed to eat some stuff containing whole grains and stuff like that. On top of that, OTL has been playing on the Internetty Thingy and asked the question, 'What food is high in fibre?'

Well, wot came back nearly brought OTL to tears, almost all the stuff wot is 'Healthy' is stuff that taste like snake poo or gets seeds in between your teeth!

There was one item called Navy Peas that the writer even agreed it had 'Little or no taste'!

Holly and I suggested he try eating grass like wot we do when we got a grumbly tum!

There was one item that pleased OTL, it seems that Twiglets are high in fibre and OTL loves Twiglets, mind you, so do Holly and I!

This morning we could get the car into our normal car park, so, Holly wasn't confused when she walked back to the car park!

Just for a change, OTL decided to try some photographs of wild flowers, not bad for an amateur!


Gentle?
Spiky!

Another Gentle one!
 Lunchtime the clouds were still overhead but it wasn't too bad. We left OTL to carry on with the big camera and another lens from this morning.

A Sparkly Back
Now there are loads of these but we are not sure of the name, wild sweet pea?

Well, the colour is good!
 Finally OTL was playing 'Hide and Seek' witha grass hopping cricket! 

Bet you can't see me now!
 On the last bit before the car, I found this enormous pile of sniff that was calling to me something rotten and of course in I went!

OTL had to put on two pairs of rubber gloves and used up half a pack of Baby Wipes just to clean my back and the harness, well, it looks like I had a discussion with a shovel full of Doo Doo!

As soon as I got home I was plonked into the water tub and it was then that OTL began to rub and scrub and I was in that water for a long time!

Holly of course was woofing her tail off at my discomfort, it was not a pretty sight!

I think I have been ear marked for an early night tonight!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Holly gets confused!

Hi Woofers!

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

Another day of sunshine and cool breezes and Old Two Legs was up with the sparrows this morning, a busy day for him!

We loved the tale of Archie Babes Black Eyed Susan, we reckon he is going off us and has taken up plant hugging!

Now, that tenner, we reckon if you were daft enough to loose it then it should go to the PDSA anyway!

If you put the notice up reporting that you found it just how many two legs would march in and claim they lost it and how will they be able to prove it?

Give it to the PDSA or by Archie Babe his very own Black Eyed Susan plant!

We had a nice email from Aunty Glynis


Dear Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret 

Thank you all so much for lending us OTL and TM for the last few days.  As Daisy has already pointed out in her Diary we Two Legs do enjoy our get togethers with nibbles, giggle juice and loads of natter.

Sorry about leaving you girls at home 'alone' but you should have seen some of the poor woofers who had been dragged out to the show with their two legs families, hot or wot! Even the children were looking very droopy and if they could have lolled out their tongues and panted we are certain they would have done so.

Because OTL No.2 has been a bit ill I (aka She Who Must Be Obeyed) ordered a chariot for the two days of the show so he would be able to get around the whole show and not slow down the shopping opportunities for TM and SWMBO - and it worked very well. 

OTL No.2 buzzed around the showground, didn't run anybody over - a couple of near misses but a miss is as good as a mile - so no problem there. The basket on the front came in very handy for carrying all the bottles of water.

The Photo won't work here!
Mechanised Infantry

The chariot hire people were very nice but OTL No.2 mentioned that he had got some very 'funny' looks from people like 'wot's he doing pretending to be an invalid?' We came to the conclusion that it was just the 'does he take sugar' brigade and they don't count for anything anyway!

We thoroughly enjoyed being with you all and OTL and TM and would love to do it all over again - but probably not until next summer so don't panic!

Just so that you know we were looking after your TLs here’s a picture of TM enjoying a little rest and an ice cream whilst sorting out her ‘incoming’ matters on her mobile pingy whatsit:

The Photo won't work here either!


We had a lovely quiet drive back home and hope that you are enjoying having your TLs undivided attention, plus now it is much cooler you won’t need to be left at home all by yourselves!

Lots of cuddles and fusses from both OTL No.2 and SWMBO and thank you once again for a lovely long weekend.

Xxxxx Glynis Xxxxxx Alun

There now, wasn't that nice?

Today OTL has been playing with his camera on our walks, he is using his big camera to experiment with his 35mm lens. First of all he tried for a sunrise but we reckon he has done better!

OK, but, the sun has blown the detail out of the clouds!
Better was the shot of the woods. We reckon the patch of ground that is lit by a sun bean directs your eye to the centre of the picture and then sort of flops out to both left and right!

What do we know, we are only woofers!

Now, where does your eye land first of all?
 Lunchtime he got close to this Dragonfly and almost got all the dragonfly in focus but the tail is a little fuzzy!

I only eat this as a last resort!
 Lunchtime we couldn''t park in our normal car park 'cos the workmen were digging up the path so we had to go back to the old car park. Now this was OK until we were supposed to go back to the car but Holly got all confused and sat next to the car that wasn't there!

OTL had to go and put her on the lead 'cos she couldn't work out where the car had gone!

I'm sure we left it here, some one has pinched it!

Never mind they may be digging up the road tomorrow and Holly will get all confused again!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

The Ferrets get a rampage around the house!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, this morning we were up with the Lark, for some reason Old Two Legs fell out of bed, or maybe it was The Missus kicking him for snoring!

OTL was cleaning their cages while Alun and Glynis breakfasted and Both Holly and I got a bit of finest crispy streaky that shot off the plate!

We were there like a shot!

Poor Glynis didn't even have time to reach down for the bacon!

It was later that they left and even Eric came down, mounted on OTL's shoulder, too say Bye Bye.

It is always lovely to see them and we just love the tales of Alun and OTL when they were young!

It hasn't been so hot today, so our run along the sea shore at Grain was most pleasant and we didn't get threatened with a wet towel like poor Archie Babe!

We are all having a 'Rest Day' today and even OTL has his paws up!

OTL has an early appointment so it will be early start and the ferrets have been warned that they will be turfed out of the 'Cudle Cup' before it gets light!

They are going to just love that!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

They've done it Again!

Hello Woofers!

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

Well, these sneaky bunch of Two Legs have done it again! Holly and I got left guarding the house while the TL's went charging off in the big car to the Kent County Show!

Mind you, it was hot today and as Old Two Legs said, it was too hot for woofers!

Mind you, there was a big swimming pool where woofers can jump in and fetch a ball and get soaking wet at the same time! I have seen the pool and I might just be a little scared of jumping in, so maybe it was a good idea to stay at home!

The back door was open and Holly and I could go out for a wee and a sniff around the garden and just occasionally we had a woof at the local woofers and set them going while Holly and I stayed silent and the laughed our tails off when they got told off for woofing!

Holly and I spent time in the garden sun bathing and not forgetting to slap the Factor Thirty Five on good and thick!

While they were up at the show, OTL found a stall with loads of notices about drinking and grandchildren, all sort of half jokey!

Well he found this one and it is to get nailed to the door of the office!

........and of course the same applies to Woofers!
 We will have to see him nail it to the door cos Holly reckons he will hit his thumb!

Talking of digits, we had a look at some of the photos OTL took and while some were a bit boring, we managed to swipe some to show you.

First there is Uncle Alun being rude from the comfort of his electric buggy thing he hired for the day!

Naughty Nunki!
 Then we found some he took of the ferrets at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue, all the ferrets were asleep, it was too hot to say hello!

Wake me when it's cooler!
 They all arrived back home around mid afternoon when we all had a walk around the football field!

Not sure what is for dinner tonight but Holly and I have been sniffing the fridge door while they have all been out today and we reckon there is still some nosh to be had!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Some you win and some you get cheated out of!

Hi Woofers!

It's us again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret!

Last night was great, I mean, everyone was bashing away at the giggle juice and laughing and telling tales well into the night. I headed off to bed early 'cos I was rather tired and having done some serious mugging of the King Plawns my little tummy was rather full! Holly had her share as well and to finish off we had a bash at the Plawn Clackers!

We slept very well last night!

Now, today there were plans made to visit the Kent County Show but the closer we got to leaving time the more often we were shooed off to the bedroom.

Then it happened, Old Two Legs told Holly and I it was going to be too hot for us woofers to be walking around the grounds with the hot sun beating down on us and no matter how much water we drank we would have been very uncomfortable!

Holly and I were not happy puppies!

Well, the kitchen door was left open so we could go out for a wee or whatever and there was loads of water and a big bowl of Brambles Biscuits, so we wouldn't get hungry or thirsty!

I must admit, it was terribly hot today and maybe OTL was right and we would have been better off not going, but it still didn't make us any happier!

About half way through the afternoon they arrived back all hot and worn out, that will teach them!

OTL is heading off to the fish and chip shop so we are off to remind him we want a big sausage!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Fun Time!

Hi Woofers!

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

Well, we have had a great time! Alun and Glynis have arrived and all today all of them have been gassing, and eating and drinking and talking and eating and drinking!

Well, what a time for mugging for the food and nibbles!

Sorry to hear about the butt squeeze and a dry sore on the old chomping chops!

Sounds a bit nasty!

We got a load of King Plawns and some Plawn Clackers as well and it was nose down and tails up for even more Doggy Nosh!

These TL's have been drinking and gassing most of the night and while to us woofers it was a it boring, they seemed to enjoy themselves!

Tomorrow we are heading off to the Kent County Show so that should be fun!

See you tomorrow, it's gone eleven and to be honest, we are tired and would rather go to bed!

Nite nite for now!

Luv,

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

Getting Sorted!

Hi Woofers!

It's Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy, Eric de Ferret and Monty de Ferret again!

We arrived home late on Monday and emptied most of the caravan stuff onto the lounge floor to get sorted into piles. There was the 'Washing' pile and the 'Store it away' pile and the 'Shed' pile and not forgetting the 'Toy' pile! The 'Toy' pile is the best fun, Holly and I get the balls and squeaky toys out and scatter them across the floor. After the morning walk we go up to bed and it is the ferrets turn, Eric and May. They both gather the toys up and hide them in one of the bags, all neat and tidy like.

After they have had a game and been put back in the cage, out comes Monty and Wendy who proceed to get all the toys out and hide them under the furniture and sofa and Old Two Legs chair!

Then, just to make sure, they hide the bags in amongst the craft stuff in The Missuses work shop!

You know, it's fun going away on holidays but we have decided we are glad to be home! I mean, while we were away we didn't see any ships cross our horizon, just the odd yacht parked up in the bay, not like the ships that cross our horizon!

Ahoy There Sailor Men!
 Although we had sunny days we got more cloud than we do at home!

Hey! You! Clear Off Cloud!
 And another thing, there were not so many flowers at the back of the beach as we have home here!

Dunno what it's called but it looks nice!
 Insect life was a little sparse, providing you ignore the midges! Down here we get a wide range, even if they are small!

Didn't see any Ladybirds up there!
 One thing we do have up there is loads of Rotting Nelly Fish but at home we get all manner of stuff coming down the Thames and The River Medway but we have never seen a Nelly Fish on the beach!

You can sniff it from miles away!
 Another thing we missed, Dragonflies, we didn't see one up there but we can almost guarantee to see one down here!

Where you been Mates?
Old Two Legs has been Manufacturing over the last two days and poor old duffer is all worn out!

We're looking forward to the weekend, it's the Kent County Show and we got Alun and Glynis visiting over the weekend, so, loads of nibbles and vast amounts of giggle juice as well!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

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

Homward Bound

Hello Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, MacMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty MacFerret and we are on our way home!

After a wet start this morning we drove through the rains up through the Mull of Kintyre and across to Loch Lomond then down towards Glasgow and off to Gretna.

Old Two Legs was very kind and stopped a couple of times for us woofers to have wee! Mind you, The Missus says that it was good for us to have a wee but it gave her time to have a wee in the caravan!

Well, she isn't going to hide behind the bushes is she!

We got into Gretna just after lunch and after parking the caravan OTL and TM headed off to the Designer Centre so spend what is left of their holiday money!

I mean, you would think they could have bought us a prezzie or six?

Yeah, six, four ferrets and two woofers! after that there will be the big pile of stuff that OTL

Tomorrow is the long journey but we will be home mid to late afternoon so you won't get any news from us 'cos we will have to unload the caravan and start getting all the stuff sorted that has come in over the last two weeks!

Some things never change but we will be back in September for another two weeks!

See you soon.

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, MacMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty MacFerret!

Us Again!

Hello Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, MacMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty MacFerret here!

Well, yesterday was the warmest it has been for years and years and years. So, being expert in these matters, we headed for a shady spot and stuck our paws in the air and went back to sleep!

Wake me when it rains!
 I did manage to get a swim in to cool me down but to be honest, it was still as hot as when we first got into the water!

Even my tail got wet!

We found one of those Nelly Fish on the beach and to give you an idea of the size, Old Two Legs put the ball thrower on the ground next to the Nelly Fish!

One mighty big Nelly Fish!
We tried to wind up OTL by telling him we found a very unusual fish on the beach! I mean, it is shaped like a fish and has an eye like a fish but seems to be missing it's fins!

OTL had a look and in the end said it looked more like a leaf!

An ancient fish?
 It was so hot that even The Missus came out for a walk in the sea. Well, she kept her shoes on and at one point was thinking of putting her wellies on!

Go On, put your wellies on, we haven't had a good laugh for ages!
Today it has been totally different, clouds, rain, thunder and more rain!

Even Holly had the shakes when the thunder went off but a cuddle with OTL got rid of them!

What happened to the sun shine and blue sky?
 Today we have spent getting the awning down and all the stuff packed away ready for the trip to Gretna for the first part of the return trip home!

Mind you, we will be having King Plawns and Plawn Clackers and a Bottle of Bubbly, well they can have the bubbly and Holly and I will stick to the Plawn Clackers!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, MacMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty MacFerret!

More fun and games!

Hello Woofers!

McDaisy, McHolly, MacMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty MacFerret here again!


Last night Old Two Legs decided he would stay up and see if he can photograph the Milky Way. The area we are in is supposed to be goof for viewing the Milky Way, providing you have the conditions.

Well, he sat up until one in the morning and waited but as the stars started to appear, the heat haze settled in and there was little to see, so he went to bed, disturbing everyone in the caravan with all his clumping about!

The other lights are two boats (left) lighthouse and house on land!
 Today has been great, the sun has been burning down and Holly and I have been in and out of the river and sea all day!

This is us in the river.


And Holly has even got her paws wet almost up to her tum!
 Holly enjoyed walking up and down the riverside but didn't get a run on, more of a splosh and a paddle!

This is OK providing I don't walk too fast!
 Me, on the other paw was straight into the river chasing a stick all the way over the other side and swimming back with it!

Look! I'm wet all the way from my nose to the tip of my tail!
Of course, one of the benefits of having a beach to hand is that I can have a really good roll in the sand to dry off!

This is GoooooooooooD!
 This afternoon we headed back down to the sea for another dip and spotted this Two Legs who was all on his own not only in the sea but on the beach as well, well, until we got onto the beach as well!

All on his own having a paddle!
 Holly said he was having a walk in the water just to kick the sand up but I reckon he was just lost!

Is he doing a wee in the sea?
 Back at the caravan OTL decided to catch up on the magazines he has yet to read but it wasn't long before he fell asleep and needed to be woken up again!
You have to keep these TL on their toes!

Hey! Those of you who know Chris and her daughter Caz will be pleased to know that Caz has had her operations and the hospital is pleased with her progress and all looks good for the future!

Keep yer tail up Caz Babe, we are all thinking of you and Chrissie Babe!

See you all tomorrow!

Luv,

McDaisy, McHolly, MacMay, MacWendy, Eric McFerret and Monty MacFerret!
