A little while ago, the humans and I went on a caching trip to Upshire (which sounds like it ought to be in Middle Earth). It was very pleasantly green: We tried to get to Boudicaa’s Obelisk, but it seemed to be entirely surrounded by fences and locked gates. It’s difficult to see, but it’s…

For the first time in over two years, my primary human and I went back to Stickwick Manor in Devon, for a glorious week of writing/walking/caching/eating. It was great to be back! We did a lot more walking than usual while we were there – it’s always a bit of an adventure, since it’s mostly…

My secondary human gave my primary human a soapstone carving kit for Christmas, but she’d been putting off trying it out, because it seemed like it required a lot of time and effort. Yesterday, though, we set about sorting out what to do… The ‘carving’ turned out to be rather more filing – and both…

Happy New Year from Cheltenham! Visiting friends is always fun at this time of year: Here’s to a great 2022!

Last weekend, the humans and I took a trip to Edinburgh to see some friends. An excellent time was had by all – plus, we climbed a volcano!! It looked pretty steep from the bottom: And it felt pretty steep on the way up: But we made it to the top: The view was pretty…

Last week, the humans and I went on another trip to the Isle of Wight, this time for a whole week and with a much bigger group. This required bigger accommodations with extensive grounds: Though there was definitely something lurking in the pool… My primary humans snagged the master bedroom, with its ridiculous en suite…

This past weekend, the humans and I met up with the other humans in our family for a few days on the Isle of Wight. We met these colourful fellows at a cafe in Shanklin: These parrots marked the trail at Shanklin Chine: One of the humans fell foul of some punishment as we made…

At the weekend, the humans and I took a trip to visit friends in Cheltenham. Our accommodation brought new levels to the concept of bijou: But it had everything we needed and the bed was very comfy. It was just a good job neither of the humans is particularly tall! It was lovely to be…

For the past few days, the humans and I have been visiting my primary human’s parents in Rustington. We hadn’t seen them in over a year, so it was a lovely trip. We stayed in an Airbnb that had an amazing throne in the garden: There was also a nice shed that provided a sheltered…

The humans and I took a trip to Radlett yesterday with some friends, for more geocaching fun (this is apparently what we do now). It was a lovely day, and Radlett turned out to be very pleasant: I found this cache – I do like the ones with a clear hint and obvious signs of…
