Roughley 2000

The Four Girls (including Mama of course) on the hillside at our favourite holiday home The Roughley, in the Scottish Borders. This was probably taken in about 2000, or just before – so there’s no sign of me at all! Boo Hoo! Nevermind, I’m happy to feature elsewhere.

Can you see how well dressed Mama is? She’s certainly making sure the typical Scottish weather isn’t affecting her joy at having to take Agi, Izzy and Kelpie out for a walk for the hillside. This is the same hillside I walked up in July 2013 and I think Mama said she remembered this spot – yeah, she can’t even remember what she had for breakfast each morning!!!

Having a breather

Here’s me and the Rainbow Boys, a couple of years ago. We’re having a breather deep in the woods around the Scottish town of Callander. Fantastic place. Been there lots and will probably visit lots more times. Looks like there’s only two of us in this picture, but we were all there.

When Fabi Met …

Oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound as they say here in England. Here’s a little Fabi something or another. We’ve decided that for the moment I’ll post of her behalf, that is until she’s a bit older, then she can do her own work!

So, here comes a series of posts that I’ll call “When Fabi Met …” cos for a while some of these things that I meet every day, will be a “first” for Fabi. And these photos are of when she met the resident swans on our local mini reservoir ….

Bobby at chatsworth

This is lill ‘ole me, not much older than Fabi is now (about 5 months) on a BIG rock, have just had a tasty slurp from the River Derwent. We had just completed a fabulous walk around the Chatsworth Estate, and what better way than to end it off with the good old fashioned slurp!

Looking back at this, shows that I haven’t changed AT ALL – still slurping from the rivers wherever I go!

River Tweed, having yet another slurop

You’d think by now that I’d have had my fill of water from the River Teviot – but oh no! here I am again, plunging in. Can’t blame me though – the water clarity is excellent – you should have seen the size of the salmon swimming in it!

So as not to disappoint those of you who may be keeping track of what I’ve said in earlier posts, here’s the photos of me slurping in the River Teviot. Surely there can’t be many more rivers I need to drink from in Scotland …. is there?
