Flashback Fridays

Another one of our regular “family gatherings”.
Back row (l-r) Poppy, Finlay, William (a family friend) Bobby- that’s me holding up the wall of the house!
Front row (l-r) Gus and William
For those new to our blog, here’s the family tree.
Back Row : Poppy is my niece, she was one of my sister Kelpie’s babies. Poppy’s birthday is 29th March 2001, she’s now 12½ yrs old. Next to Poppy is Finlay (you all know about Finlay) and next to Finlay is another William, a friend of our family), then there’s me.
Gus and William on the front row were litter brothers; both born 12th Feb 1999.
All that’s left is Poppy and myself, but we haven’t forgotten any of the others – they live strong in our hearts, especially Mama’s heart.
Thirsty Thursday

I know – similar to last week – but here, instead of trying to jump across the stepping stones, Gus decided to wade across – saved him the embarrassment of falling in!
One Word Wednesday – Peaceful

Peaceful
Flashback Fridays

This is me. On my little bridge. In my front garden. Watching the world go by. The bridge is a little more well used now and could do with a coat of paint – just saying!
Thirsty Thursday

Gus was never any good at getting across these pesky stepping stones with out falling into the stream. Here he’s taking an “forced” slurping – see the water pouring out of his beard. I do miss him. Mama says though, she I remind her of Gus when trying to cross the stepping stones ‘cos I too nearly always end up in the drink!
