The little dog whisperer

The year is whizzing by, and apart from the one huge first – starting school, I think we’ve been fairly short on first achievements. For N it’s all been about starting school. In September, N has Gone straight into full…
It’s another week of Project 365, and we’re into week 33. This week’s been a busy one, and I was pleased to have a couple of days off work. It’s always good to have a short working week, although it…

We might be on a farm, and about to launch into lambing season ourselves (well, my brother in law because the OH isn’t a sheep fan, so only has cattle himself), but now N is older he goes out without…
Metal detecting’s not something I’ve ever really been interested in doing, although in the past I’ve always seen metal detector toys at Christmas and thought what good presents they’d make for our nephews and niece. But my brother’s really got…
