Wednesday’s News From Wales

IMG_0967

Good morning , Bloggers. I've chosen a lovely summer garden to cheer us up in this dreary greyness. Anyone know where it is?


All the dogs around here are fed up with the wet weather. Ours took one step outside this morning and ran straight back in but we put our wet weather kit on and took them out anyway. Larry has to have his coat on because , at 13 years, he feels the cold. Elwyn has been taking his for walks alongside the river and they have been coming home covered with mud. His little granddaughter, Alma, in New Zealand is fascinated by lizards and he has been looking for a toy one to send out. Fortunately we found some horrible stretchy ones in John Lewis. I'm sure she will love them. Tim is off to watch his son and granddaughter in a Pantomime in Burton-on-Trent next weekend. Last year his son was the Dame and was very funny. We're going to see our grandson, Tomos, in a Welsh Language play a week on Monday and on the 14th. Feb., Megan and Andrew in their school production of West Side Story so between us all we might get some Golden Globe nominations!
Entries close for the MBTC Open Show today. I'll be in the kitchen as usual so come and say "hello" if you're going. Enid

Thank you Enid, what a lovely photo, it is certainly very dreary looking outside our kitchen window this morning. Hope everyone has a good time watching their family members in the forthcoming productions. As Enid said Midland bedlington closes  today get your entries off! We won’t be at the show as our daughter and myself are taking my mother away again for a holiday. My mother has Alzheimer's and I feel this will be her last holiday. When in unfamiliar surroundings mum needs a full time carer and it will be easier with two of us to look after her.  Mum really  enjoyed our trip back last October and it’s lovely to see her smile at the thought of another holiday. Jon will be staying home dog sitting and hopefully keep the blog ticking over!
