For the last couple of weeks it has seemed like my past life has been passing before me. Then I understood: we are on holiday, and visiting people and places I knew from before. And I think I am tired out, but we shall see! [we’re not back home for another week!] To start with …
In my last diary Papa was playing with his new toy, the Mini Digger. I can’t tell you much about what he was doing because I was not allowed out when the digger was being used; in case blind Papa didn’t see me and squished me. But when I went out to see what he …
I have had very exciting times. But you’ll have to wait to hear about them later in the diary! To start with, the month was just boring old rain, getting wet but no swimming in the river or burns because there was too much water. Mummy spent lots of time taking pictures of fungus-y things, …
My people get quite excited when what they call the New Year comes. First Mummy starts to talk about all the birds on the bird feeders – which is not a surprise because Mummy fills them with nuts – then when we go on my walks Mummy keeps seeing ‘fungi’ all over the place. She …
In my last diary Auntie Les was staying with us [she was in the cabin] and there was lots of talking and drinking. You’ll recall that Papa had said Auntie Les did ‘not like dogs’. I knew she would like me [which she did, naturally] and by the time she went home we would have …
At the end of my last diary I mentioned we would be going on holiday to Oban. But before we went, I had some excitement! When we are away, somebody has to look after the coos, chickens and bees. It was going to be favourite Uncle Andrew, we went to pick him up on Friday …
Since my last diary all the fields around the village have been filledwith sheeps and new lambs. The lambs are very cute, I would liketo play with them but Papa says they would be frightened so I amnot allowed. It’s good to watch them through the fences and hedgesthough. Some bad news: Mummy says my …
Since my last diary lots have happened! First, on the Saturday we all went in Polly Car to Ayr. Mummywas driving [Papa still isn’t allowed, though I expect we will allbe safer that way]. In Ayr, we all looked at a car. It was like Nessiebut not so dirty and tatty. We all thought it …
I am bluetoothing my diary on what must be the coldest evening ofthis year. I have even been allowed to have Papa’s fleece drapedover me to keep me warm. This is very nice [even if it does smell abit humany], I tried taking it in the garden with me but mean Papawouldn’t let me! It’s …
Good morning. Today [Friday] is my birthday and I will tell you aboutit later. These last two weeks have been rather quiet. All the fields where Ihave my walks have sheeps in them, so we have to stay on theroad, though we go in the woods by the river most days. When theriver is not …
