Sunny Sunday

Yestterday was such a dismal foggy day but today dawned bright and sunny and we spent the morning walking the dogs at Hardwick Hall just across the border in Derbyshire.

Bare winter trees stood out against the pale blue skys,as did the walls of the Hall..........................................

It was rather muddy underfoot but the dogs loved it ..............................here's Coco and Bella inspecting a particularly squelchy patch!  Good job we were wearing wellies!!

and here's a better pic of the beautiful Bella............I think you'll agree she is lovely!

And another more typical Beagle pose..................................

Mid way round our route we stopped off for a coffee break, the views across the park were stunning, not sure that my pictures do it justice. 

Finishing off with the Father Christmas trail

Just to remind us that Christmas is coming soon.............................

Hello!

Jay - loveable rogue?

An introduction to the dogs:

This is the infamous Jay, a characture of note - he has a heart as big as a bucket and lives life to the full - he loves everyone and shows it, his manners can sometimes be a bit to be desired -  like marmite - you either love him or hate him!

Shogie - our gentle giant

 As big as a bear but the gentlest of souls, he is the kindest dog ever and just  about the laziest!!  He likes nothing better than to sit and watch the world go by................................

A puppy pic of Coco - she's now 2 and a little bigger, but not much!  Sweet natured, as long as she gets her own way, a whirlwind of fun, just as happy on 2 legs as all fours (she should have been in the circus!)

Bella to be introduced at a later date............................................................

Here's Bella

A little beauty of a Beagle, with her big floppy hears and gorgeous big brown eyes she is a real charmer!  Full of life and fun, her mission is to give all the other dogs a 'run for their money' whether they want too or not!!!
