CHAROITE SIBERIANS

Instead of being practical and taking the stuff to the tip that I need to get rid of, I went for another walk this afternoon. Beany and I headed to the nearby Brocklesby Estate woods which - in spite of it being a popular local beauty spot and a lovely sunny Sunday - were curiously quiet. Had a lovely couple of hours poking around the woodland walks which have all kinds of interesting follies and monuments scattered around them, relics of someone's 18th Century overspend. We saw some deer which are always a lovely sight when you're not on a rig with 4 huskies in front of you. 

Beany did have a bit of a weird moment when she refused to go near an old brick building in the woods and acted as spooky as I've ever seen my exceptionally calm confident dog. 

Who Lives in a House like This ? No-one, we hope.

Turns out there was a very large buzzard perched on a table inside enjoying a freshly caught baby rabbit. The bird flew out with an outraged screech and Beany recovered from her shock sufficiently to try and steal the bunny. We had a few words and she decided to leave it for the big bird that was waiting ominously on a nearby branch.

Enough with the pictures already, let's GO !

Yes, it's another old building. Where's my tea ?

Earlier I took Brew to an open show at Newark. Brew isn't shown as much as his brother Pye as he gets a bit over excited in the ring (to say the least). I've decided to try a few open shows over the summer to see if he settles. He did really well today and came 2nd to a lovely boy who was really showing his socks off. The important thing was Brew seemed to enjoy it and at least managed to keep all four feet on the floor to show the judge his outline and moved around the ring without dragging me into the next county !

Knee is holding up well !
