Xmas 2011

I've had a wonderful Xmas, the most amazing Xmas ever!

The day started at Jane and Martin's.

Will Sarah give me some food?

What's on this plate then?

Let's have a closer look.

Then we went to the plot for Christmas dinner.

Yap, I'm happy with my seat!

Let the party begin!

Time to move onto Rob's lap.

Anymore leftovers I can help you with, Mandy?

Happy days in the Christmas shed!

On Boxing Day, I did the most massive, more than 5 mile, Hanwell walk.  Shame no photos were taken.  It seems that swarm_catcher was too busy sharing out her honey vodka!

Visitors from Belgium

I met my grandparents for the first time, and they are absolutely fantastic! I got on with them straight away. Shame they couldn't stay longer! They have invited me to Belgium for New Year! I'm up for that, as long as my aunties can get my passport sorted out.

Mandy's Birthday Celebrations

Mandy (from Uncle Rob and Mandy) had wonderful birthday celebrations on the allotment. There was a Moroccan theme, hence auntie S being dressed the way she is.

I am willing this plate of crisps closer to me!!

Here is a lovely picture of the birthday girl herself.

Beating the Bounds - Hanwell - London

Oh what a wonderful walk I had today! 8 miles long!

Here we are at the start. Wasn't sure what was going on. All these people turned up with willow sticks in their hands. Auntie E went into the pub and came straight back out with a leaflet ... and a willow stick - but no chewie!

This is a boundary stone - I was asked to pose.

Here the group found another stone.

Auntie E didn't see the stone for the rape seed in flower.

Typical beekeeper!

I'm so lucky to live in London!

The willows by the river Brent had some work done.

Its good, but beekeeper auntie E will be tutting for loss of catkin pollen.

This is a stone on the golf course.

Just as I found a bone, auntie S was ready to go.

These boys were the coolest.

While everybody was talking history, they found history!

And if you want to read history, its here: Beating the Bounds - Hanwell

I'm so happy with a chewie between my paws!

Various Photos

Here are a few more photos which I thought you might like.

Walking along the canal with visitors from Brighton. It was very wet!

Marks out of 10 for cuteness?

That cat is on my lap!

Here, I am posing for the great painter Mr Goya.

Visitors from Belgium

We're on the morning chicken run with our visitors. I like visitors, because I can persuade them to walk the long way back. I always impress people with how I know the way, over the canal, sometimes I go south, sometimes north .... They try and work out why I go a certain way - but they'll never work it out really. They're only human!

Here, I'm waiting patiently while the chickens are fed and watered.

And the eggs are taken home for breakfast.

All that walking, we all need a nap!
