A fresh face



Both PONs are busy catching up with their post k-e-n-n-e-l sleep.

The canine capacity for restorative dozing is remarkable. 


We are now back into our morning ' you're in my spot ' routine. Sophie makes it abundantly clear to her brother that he's in the wrong place in the back of the car. Bob gets out. Sophie makes herself comfortable. Bob gets back in. Somethings never change.


In the cafe a fresh face observes the PONs. Bob is too busy devouring his curvy croissant end to notice. Sophie wants to play. The family diva emits a squeak of delight.



Back at The Rickety Old Farmhouse we are joined at the gate by The Old Farmer. He bursts into tears . '' I'm so glad you're back ". He's got to that age where having watchful and friendly neighbours is important. 'The Font' gives him a Great Wall of China baseball cap. Ten minutes later he can be seen sitting on his lawn tractor wearing it. All is well with the world.

A hero.

Yikes, that blast of opera was a bit more than my morning cuppa could cope with... RIP Cap'n Bacos. Wonder if we'll get to watch that little ball of fluff grow up through the eyes of a cafe goer and his PONs??? YAM xx

I'm very moved by the Old Farmer's response to your return.
Friendly and watchful (in a good way) neighbours are blessing at any age.
Cheers, Gail.

Awe you are kind looking after the old farmer. Sophie's new friend is very cute.

One look at Sophie and I'd jump out of the car too. Bless the Old Farmer.

Do you know what kind of dog that is in the picture you shared with us?

I shall ask the nest time we see the proud new owners.

Sophie is looking rather the worse for wear this morning.

Sophie's new friend has been saved from an encounter with an enthusiastic diva.

A surprising greeting but an indication that 87 is an age when continuity is important ?

Quite an opera and we shall endeavour to maintain a watching brief on the puppy.
