pre puppy autumn walk

 Gloriously sunny day and the bright blue sky with those yellow leaves was just magical.

Typical Autumnal day to enjoy and cherish.

New addition to the family!

Hello this is Frankie she came home on 16th November 2018 and was born on 10 September 2018 so she is 9.5 weeks old.

 Compare Lucy full grown adult at 9 years to the puppy! Similar colouring but different size and coat.
Lucy is due for handstripping next week though, then she'll be very smart again.

 The girls came home from UNI to meet and play with Frankie and have oh so many cuddles with her. And a photo-shoot on the bed upstairs...

Very Beautiful

 And hardly ever stops biting/mouthing like a true baby....

 This was JJ and his duvet on the floor where he fell asleep with her on the first proper day.
I'd been in the kitchen with her all night then needed a nap so it was his turn...

 The reindeer toy was a big success.

 Lucy is not very impressed yet

Ok so she's little but no I do not want to play...

Our SNOWDON adventure on 19 September

 Parking in a layby next to a lovely lake as the pig path car park was already full at 9 am.

Walking on the road back up to the other car park to start the walk ''proper''.

 10:04 the start of the walk on the pig-track.

 JJ leading the way all the way.

 Looking back at the pig track car park.

 Having started to walk in light drizzle this is a hopeful glimpse of a patch of blue sky!

 First look at the lake with the smiley faces! Lake weeds.

This was at 10:29 am. the first big lake.

 What is JJ looking at?

Aha a hairy caterpillar! a bit late in the season?

more to follow about this day at a later date...

Maldives holiday start thereof

 Lounge at Gatwick with lovely buffet of food, free drinks and tea/ coffee and cake and lovely comfort. What a way to start this lovely holiday! Bliss.

 A wrinkle in time, one of the movies watched on ICE on the Gatwick to Dubai EMIRATES flight.
( 6 hours and 50 minutes) It was a comfortable flight, I watched 3.5 movies which helped pass the time. The Female Brain, A Wrinkle in Time, Goodbye Christopher Robin and half of Victoria and Albert.

 A lighthouse on the boot, magic.

 Lovely costume, a suit of the sea and a beach ...

 view from plane.One of the first Atolls seen.

 Still the flight from Dubai to Male. ( 3 hours 41 minutes)
