Snowdrops


At the beginning of last week, we were treated to murky, misty, and, to be frank, absolutely miserable weather — the sort that makes staying indoors feel like the only sensible option.

Of course, with Ruby around, that really isn’t an option. She has a lot of energy that needs using up, otherwise we’re faced with full-blown doggy sulks. So we wrapped up warmly and headed over to Temple Newsam. As usual, Ruby likes to kick things off with a game of chase, and Martyn had to keep adjusting his throws so they didn’t go so far that she vanished from sight altogether.

In the bleak midwinter

On Thursday, a sharp ping on my phone announced that another delivery of manure had been dropped off. That could only mean one thing: we would have to go to the allotment and shift it. Although the load had technically been unloaded onto our plot, it has to be tipped at the edge, where it threatens to overspill onto the narrow roadway that encircles the site.

Double birthday

Last week, we celebrated two birthdays. Martyn's was on Wednesday, and on Thursday, it was Ruby's sixth birthday. How time flies.  Martyn's birthday marked several multiples of six and some.

It would take several posts to create a photo history for Martyn but Ruby's is more manageable, so here goes.

Happy New Year

I know that I am late with my New Year's greeting, but as the saying goes - Better late than never.

We've had a lazy time. Our afternoon walks have been local, as we reckoned everywhere, including the roads, would be really busy with many people still taking time off work and school. 

Staying local was a wise move as Nostell was heaving on the two days that we visited. Hardly surprising, as one was New Year's Day. Extra areas were given over to parking, and it was even too busy for Ruby to have a ball chasing game.

This week, we will probably have the place more or less to ourselves.
