A whippet. The epitome of speed, grace, and elegance

Bed time then Bluebirds. 👋😴

Today has been a journey from hell with road closures, gridlock, collisions on the M5 and enough traffic lights to last a lifetime. But it was all worth it, ‘cos I want to introduce you to our new family member: RUBY!

Pupdate on life: yesterday the Hoos took me out for a Beach Day to Wallasey. I had a run on the beach (and saw another Whippet but she was too old to run) and Muvver took me through the sand dunes. I slept all the way home and most of this morning… #WhippetLife

Won a few jigsaw puzzles at auction, went to collect them this morning…

Good morning everyone

Goodnight then Skylarks, whether you’re sat in strange railway stations or contemplating regional pork products, have a good one. Tomorrow I shall resume my hunt for a tank full of diesel to go away for Easter…

I spy…

Had a fantastic morning at Victoria Mill in Congleton yesterday, bagged a few bargains and had a super lunch in the restaurant too. Definitely on my ‘go back again’ list if only to buy the things I couldn’t carry yesterday (and have another lunch)…

Good evening Skylarks!

Morning Skylarks… At what age does ‘fell’ become ‘had a fall’? #Birthday #AskingForAFriend *And no, I haven’t done either (yet) so don’t panic 😂

When Hoodad wants to take a photo of you it’s important to keep your eyes on the treats… #WhippetLife

Morning you lot! Kettle’s boiled and the fire’s lit. Grab yourself a chocolate Brazil and get comfy and ignore the fact it’s raining.

The Countryside Alliance used to be known as the British Field Sports Society and campaigns for hunting and shooting. Its chair is right wing Tory and 🦊 hunting fan Nick Herbert a former master of the Newmarket Beagles. They speak for no one but people who like killing wildlife.

Well here we are again. Still crazy after all these years…

Autumn colour, freshly picked from the garden this mornin

Experimental cookery in the kitchen today, first attempt at cooking haslet in the air fryer. Verdict: OK but need to chop the onion much finer and needs a little more pepper or chilli flakes, if I double up the quantity it’ll be a much better shape too

This account smells of machine oil and rust. #WorkingInTheGarage

Last year it was rosettes for OH’s jam and chutney, and today this! There’s just no stopping some people

This little cutie is 12 today and is celebrating by having a #FlapFoldThursday

Quote B for me…

Today’s Wallasey Whippet Walk didn’t quite go to plan - I think the sheer number of whippets (all new to Lola) overwhelmed her a bit so she was very subdued and didn’t join in the beach run 🤷‍♂️ Dolly of course was happy just to plod along with me

Morning all. It’s moist.

Tonight’s offering is chicken breast, lamb steaks, beef kebab, corn coblets, served with potato wedges, curried pasta, and a little side salad. 😋 #WhatWeGotInTheFridge

Impromptu ad-hoc bbq to clear a few freezer finds and reduced-to-clear bargains: Sea bass, duck breast, chicken, beef kebabbies, corn cobs and couscous. Plus chips of course…

Angela, reading

Perranporth beach is RAMMED (no surprise there) but I did spot a little rock group having a get-together this morning #Cornwall

St. Ives looking lovely yesterday, despite the clouds #Cornwall

Good afternoon all; enjoying a week break down here in Porthleven before moving on to Perranporth next week #Cornwall

When the man in a van shouldn’t be in charge of anything bigger than a wheelbarrow…

Finally - FINALLY - finished reconfiguring the corner of the drive; after several setbacks we finally resorted to Plan C. I am now totally knackered.

This is definitely worth thinking about. I’ve already suggested it to OH for consideration. Maybe Pure Cremation could include it in their package?

I used to run with a pretty tough gang when I was younger. The gang:

A portmanteau of my first name and first syllabub of my last name

The sun is shining and the wine is flowing, so BBQ for two is the order of the day

Right Skylarks, time for bed. Nanite 👋

OH and I have been to a friends’ Hand Tying ceremony. Turns out it wasn’t the bondage party I was expecting…
