Month: May 2010

Okay, it was a rug not a corner. Do funny, laugh-out-loud, poems count?

Ewok has developed a habit of kidnapping cuddly toys. Tiger was found (rescued) this afternoon deep in the woods at the back of the house surrounded by a patch of mushroom guards.
Happily the only injuries sustained was a little dampness.
The other tigers were pleased to hear the good news.

May this year has been wet and the conifers have been putting on new growth like nobodies business.

Nelly (and family) came to stay. Ewok was sad to see her go.

After too long away from home it was great to hit the trail with H to blow away some cobwebs.
We even brought some mud from the southern traverse back with us.

Driving east from Honiton along the A303 and watching the day fade into night.

Three days young.

Being a bit silly, and perplexing tourists, in front of Exeter Cathedral.

Teaching Amelie how to levitate on the cathedral steps.

Tackling the steps around Exeter’s town wall on the way down to the quay.

Lock, Stock and Barrel on the canal in Newbury.

This is one of the signs on my route to work.
Makes you think.

Ewok’s therapy dog training continues at Woodinville Fire Station.
Lesson 3: Stand by the engine and act nonplussed as the siren screams and hoses squirt.
