The humans and I spent a lovely weekend down in Dorset, for a performance by my secondary human’s choir. We were offered a sweet little Airbnb in the area at a discount! This fine individual was guarding the front door: We had to make sure at least the bottom half of the door was closed…

My humans have recently been hanging out with one of my primary human’s old university friends and his family. It’s been lovely to make some new friends! This Sunday, we’d planned to visit the west of Wimbledon Common, near where our friends live, where there is a big collection of caches close together. However, my…

The humans and I took a mid-week trip to Oxford a few days ago – primarily to see Come From Away on tour, as it has been over a year since it closed its run in London and the humans were feeling deprived. The show was amazing, as ever, but we also took the opportunity…

My humans’ friend Claire decided to have her birthday celebration in Brighton this year so we’re off for a jolly day trip! Thanks to a new train route, we can now get there in two hours! Arrived! Plenty of these folks around. It’s very nice here. We’ve managed to arrive really early so let’s go…

The humans finally remembered to take me out on a trip – hurrah! We went to Fairlop, where we had an extremely nice lunch in a cafe, then set off to find some caches. The first set were along a footpath that ran alongside the railway line: Spring was definitely springing and there were lots…

The humans and I took a long weekend trip to Wales recently, as suggested by one of their friends. We started our trip in Tenby, which had a nice station: It also had tons of lovely flowers around the walls: And a great view from the top of the cliffs: More than one, in fact:…

Last weekend, the humans and I went to visit our friends who live in Cheltenham. On Saturday, they suggested a ‘short walk’ up Leckhampton Hill and we all agreed we would walk the distance to get to the bottom of the hill, for extra exercise… This included going through a lovely park, which featured part…

The humans and I walked up to Forty Hall yesterday, to peruse the Spring Fayre being held there. It’s a lovely building that we haven’t visited much, even though it’s only half an hour away: We visited the food court immediately upon arrival and enjoyed some delicious savoury crepes from Simply Scrumptious: It was lovely,…

As we enter deep spring the buds are blooming, the lambs are leaping and the humans are engaging in occasional trips away from home to do a little geocaching in some of the lovely areas of Hertfordshire just north of where they live. Last week they decided to do such a loop around the hamlet…

The humans love planning a good geocaching expedition – but it doesn’t always turn out how they expect… Today’s trip was meant to be a gentle saunter through Brookman’s Park, picking up alternate caches on the way west and collecting the rest on the way back. The humans wore their boots, as it’s been wet…
