A lack of conviction.


The French President came to the neighbouring market town last week. This might explain why an enormous flagpole and tricoleur have suddenly appeared in the nondescript parking lot outside the industrial estate.


In the bakers an over sized coffee eclair that will fed 6.


We settle on a tartelette Fraise and a Paris-Brest for an early lunch. The PONs get some slivers of croissant.


Back at The Rickety Old Farmhouse Sophie is oblivious to what awaits her ...


Bob knows that something is up but doesn't know what it is.


The evil deed is done. Both the PONs are too busy charging round the exercise yard to see us leave. On the way to the airport I tell 'The Font' that they love going to the kennels. 'It's just like a holiday'. This is followed by the line '' A change is as good as a rest ". ' The Font' observes that these lines are delivered with a telling lack of conviction.

Yum that eclair looks great - morning and afternoon tea. Have a great trip - glad that you managed to sneak away from the twosome.

Safe Travels....The PONS are already penning their letter to the RSPCA as to their abandonment issues.....

You can be sure they're telling anyone that will listen that it's time to go home.

"A change is as good as a rest"???? Is that an old Scottish saying?
I suspect that eclair will be eaten by fewer than 8.

I don't know about the PON's, but as far as they are concerned I suspect that you and 'The Font' will be well and truly in the dog house, by the time you return !
Safe travels.

Just be sure to line your pockets with the very best dog contraband to win the PONs over on your return... YAM xx

Hoping the Grizzly Bear can sort out the fire extinguisher issues, and that he likes his new "den." Safe travels!

Safe travels and lets hope sense prevails over the fire extinguishers (a sensitive topic, post-Grenfell, perhaps?)

Safe travels!

I am excited for you to see your house! ‘The Font’ has turned it into a charming home. Looking forward to seeing more pictures when you arrive at the ROF. Also remember the toy offerings for Bob and Sophie!
