Today's gorgeous weather had me heading to Snugburys (along with a lot of other people 😆) for ice cream and a chat with the resident pigs

Don't be deceived by the glorious blue skies, the wind would charitably be called 'brisk' on our walk today 😆 And lots of rain this morning meant we got a jigsaw done

I frequently point out my girl's pantaloons, which she endures with a long-suffering air

For such an agent of chaos, she's very peaceful when sleeping

Tom! Yep, I'm delighted with them 😊 Been meaning to do it for a while, but Rob being ready to take the old ones from me gave me the push to get it done

Obviously, the cats were super helpful with the whole process

Impressive athleticism. My girl got her personal best a couple of weeks ago (she's a fluffy tortie and white princess who doesn't like wet feet, her brother cheerfully barges out in all weathers)
