That time of year again
Preparations for the 2024 trip to the UK started early in the year. The ferry was booked back in January to make sure of a pet cabin. Route planned and accommodation reserved by Easter. No easy task when travelling with three labradors and Goa’s absolute refusal to do stairs. To-do and to-pack lists made, but…

THE JOURNEY – Spain
Valdesalor, Vivar del Cid, Mios, Fontaines and Cherbourg. The stops on our journey through France. The plan was to enjoy some time meandering through France, but that was scuppered by yet another heat wave, meaning temperatures would be over 35C all the way to Cherbourg. Months of planning, then re-planning when Jaffa joined us, were…

AND THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS…
UK and France 2023 Twenty-one days to go and we will be setting off through France to the UK, where we will be staying until the end of September. Looking forward to cooler days, chilly nights, green fields and, hopefully, the start of autumn foliage. A taste of ‘proper’ autumn with its misty mornings. Of…

Horse racing at Zahara de Los Atunes
Life has been pretty tough for Goa and Thai since we got back from England. I am overwhelmed with work and have had no time for dog adventures, but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel known as the project-from-hell. It is the start of a four day weekend in Spain,…

Lelo finally decided that Thai was okay, but not Goa. I gather from my mother that Lelo really misses…

ST. DAVID’S, FISHGUARD AND PARROG
Not a cloud in the sky as we set off to Fishguard the next morning. Rain was forecast for late afternoon, but we were hopeful that we could fit in everything we wanted to see . The views from the Presili Hills are stunning and I wanted to stop to take photos, but there is…

PEMBS… PEMBROKESHIRE… PARADISE
(Friday and Saturday) The holiday bit of the trip was a long weekend in Wales at a pet-friendly cottage looking out over the Preseli Hills and 15 minutes from the coast. Leelo went to her dog sitter as my mother decided that it was the least stressful option for all of us. The car was…

Our daily routine
I knew it was never going to be a holiday. I had to work in the morning, even if hampered by extremely slow internet, as a large translation project is due in mid-November and I couldn’t take a month off. There were things to be done around my mother’s house, but the decluttering project I…
