CTC - will PM you so as not to bore everyone

Better_Days

Morning everyone, enjoyed reading your posts from yesterday. Welcome newbies and lurkers :j

How you doin' today Rummer? Sounds like you are having a tough time.

Very windy and rainy here atm and lights keep flickering. Listening to the radio - lots of reports of power cuts in the east - better get typing quickly in case it goes here.

Lurcher hates the wind and storms, it may be necessary to break out the diazapam for him if he totally loses the plot. Cats on the windowsill looking out with distain. Looks like another busy day asleep for them again They are very fair weather cats.

Had a lovely day at Aldeburgh yesterday. Some very old friends from South Wales have a holiday cottage there for a week so we drove over to see them. Went for a walk along the front to the 'shell' (not my photo - got camera out and batteries had run out )




Even though it is nearly November it was still very busy in Aldeburgh - but OTOH it is half term week.

Sleepy now, lots of rest needed today to recover from yesterday.....

Keep safe everyone (and no more getting shut in Dave)

Ooops sorry LIR - those are lovely photo's of Kiwi and ukmaggie45 - what a fab flower - how tall is the plant in all?

'Twas lovely to see CTC and Alf yesterday. Very tired after a four hour round trip with the kids in tow.

The geese are now settled and we seemed to have missed the brunt of the storm. It's just the usual Wintery blusteriness up here today. Cold, though.

I love dogs! They are all fab.

Wolfhounds do take up room. I've lived in a small two bed house with a kennels with 17 of them :eek: and five in a two bed bungalow. Luckily they don't move much after a couple of years, They become like those animal skin rungs, but you jump over them :rotfl:.

But I agree. Some of the smaller hounds worth considering.

Cannot resist puppy pic repeats of kiwi

I can't keep up with these posts. Who is this bundle of cuteness? We were looking at getting a Kerry Blue Terrier but I've joined a group on Facebook and they seem to get ill a lot. They are a rareish breed. Perhaps not a big enough gene pool? So we're reconsidering our options. Like, Rummer, I would like a small to medium sized dog, preferably non-shedding. There's a woman who sells spoodles near us. Springer crossed with Standard Poodle. They look gorgeous but I don't like the thought of paying £350 for a mongrel....

CTC, I know you need a herd number for pigs. As the pigs weren't mine, but my friends, he sorted that out. I just got the holding number.

Where do you get them from and do you need seperate ones for each sort of animal?

:wave: MrsAtobe

Well, we both camped out on the settees all night & ........ nothing. :rotfl:
When I say nothing we kept (& still keep) having really sharp & heavy showers but if the wind was up it must have been in a direction which the hills protected us from.
A friend not too far away has no power, though. I don't know if that's something just at her place or a more widespread problem. I think it's probably the former as we're right at the end of the line for both power & phone so, if it goes down anywhere en route, we usually go down, too.

Glad you got back OK. alfie, & hope you haven't woken to too much carnage this morning.

HI ALL .....

i think ive just been an extra in a spielburg movie driving home :eek:

fine/dry on M4 in wales [honestly !]... enter blighty and the wind got up [and NO king F in sight ]...entered the newbury to the M3 run and oh boy...eye of the storm or what !!
the roads were like rivers and the vision was shitte.
and yes the nerds of the road were belting past when the majority were doing 40mph...:mad: sending sheets of water that made halloween look kids play...

THEN as i got onto the forest, i had 2 u turns due to branches on the roads, i finally got home having to avoid lakes in hidden dips....

so i had 2 adventures today :D

I LOVE ROZEE'S BOGLINS
especially little miss ladybird

i had a fab day as usual [i always have a chuckle thinking i LOVE visiting ctc and lir...and then wonder if im overlooking having ME woffling on........poor sods

i just love the ranch, i feel like a visiting aunty :rotfl::rotfl:

many thanks to everyone today..

welcome to the newbies, i cant remember names at the mo... gonna sink in a hot bath.
p.s. bimble was flaked out all the way home he had such fun with rozee's clan and more fun putting his muddy self on every person today....except me :rotfl::rotfl:

Oh my word, Alf. Just got to this post. What an adventure! I hate driving in those sort of conditions as I crashed my car almost immediately after passing my test aged 17 in heavy rain...

The kids love mud, don't they? I wish we had better washing, and especially drying facilities here. I think we may be getting a reputation for being total hillbillies... Down in the village, it's much more civilised.

The geese are doing great. I'm going to go out and gaze at them again now

And lovely to hear from some newbies. Sorry, I've not said before. hate to seem rude. I normally post in a flurry of kids mithering me from the other side of the caravan. Life is very hectic for us here. And it's half term this week.

News from alfie's quarter is that it was pretty windy last night and 'bits kept falling from the trees.' However, as DD2 is on the ground floor of three storeys, totally surrounded by trees, any break in the cover is a bonus in her eyes!

Western Power Distribution have just called here, or rather next door. Not sure what that was about, but they didn't do anything, except look up at the wires. I'm no expert, but they all seem to be there.

Not a mongrel, but a dog you cannot guarantee is no shedding, or what traights from each line it will have. Sent you pics of a breed that might suit. . But there pure bred non shedders.

If you like Kerry blues ( I know nothing about them) then do the research, find good breeders involved in health lead breeding and who import stock for breeding for gene pool, or who breed with those who do. The only way to keep breeds diverse is through breeding and the only to breed well and then those pet quality pups need homes.
