This holiday post comes to you in four parts, as there are just too many fantastic things to photograph in Switzerland to fit in one! The first stop on our tour around Lake Geneva last week was Geneva itself. We went for a wander into the city after checking in to our hotel, turned a…

As it is a quintessential British attitude to feel the need not to waste a nice day, the humans and I set out yesterday for a pleasant lunchtime walk. We chose the Parkland Walk, which runs along a disused railway line between Finsbury Park and Highgate. This tree caught our eye: It was such an…

One of the primary humans attended a technology conference in Barcelona last week, so the other primary human and I decided to tag along for a few days. I lounged around the flat with one (who got lots of writing done) while the other was presenting at the conference, and then we set out to…

My primary human and I spirited ourselves away to a little cottage near Exeter for Easter weekend, with the intention of getting some writing done. It was a cosy place: And very welcoming: The view from the little living room was delightful: And these gentlemen proved quite friendly: There were piggies in the kitchen to…

Two of my human friends and I took a trip to the ballet this evening, to see Matthew Bourne’s Sleeping Beauty – a perfect opportunity to show off my Christmas jumper in public! Dinner first, though – ah, happy hour at Banana Tree! And what a fine repast! Getting lots of starters and sides dishes,…

The first view we had of the house was encouraging: We really lucked out with our room assignment. We got the attic garett with…

 While we were staying at Rosslyn Castle we had the opportunity to go around Rosslyn Chapel which was just at the top of the hill next to where we were staying. Unfortunately you’re not allowed to take pictures inside but the outside is very impressive. Not all of the natives were entirely friendly though. You could…

The humans and I, along with some of our friends spent a weekend recently at the lovely Rosslyn Castle – part of the Landmark Trust family of properties. We were keeping good company with the kind of people that have stayed on the site over the centuries – have a look at this list. Because…

My primary human and I were originally thinking about taking ourselves away somewhere for the Bank Holiday weekend. But, when the tube strike was called off, and it looked to be less wet than anticipated, we decided to have a little stay-cation in London instead. We got in touch with our friend, Google, and asked…
