Going from strength to strength

Sorry all. It's been a while since I posted.

We've managed to slip in a holiday to Cornwall again - the dog didn't come this time so I didn't have to stress about her running off. No I just had to fret about her being with my mum for a whole week. We took Ed (my bruv) and his wife Jane. We had only 1 day of rain so that was not too bad. We all had a good break and unwound. Alan found a small treasure whilst out walking

It was in a small cave off of Crantock Beach.

It is lovely and has the profile of a woman's face beside it. Alan worried that someone had been buried there but we all reassured him that it was unlikely. Having done some checking it seems to be the work of one Joesph Prater, a Crantock local

It apparently was carved in the 1900. It's amazing what you can discover if you just open your eyes.

When we got back the dog was fine and had settled with mum and dad better this time. I really had nothing to worry about, still didn't stop me but hey ho there ya go.

Alan has also managed to finish the fishpond (hallelujah!!!) The fish love it and Niamh thinks she has got the biggest water bowl going, shame to dissapoint her but we had to put a net over it to make sure the Heron's don't nick our precious stock.

Sans Fish - but I put them in not long after

Talking of the baby (Niamh) I am pround to report that she now has fully settled in and not only growls at any visitors we may have, but she has taken to making our bed her home whilst we are out. I came in the other day to find the duvet all bundled up in a heap in the middle of the bed. Ahhh, I thought, my baby has been making a nest. Then I saw the great big muddy paw prints all over the sheets. Needless to say we now have a cover over the duvet to capture the muddy paws of a morning. Got to save my best M&S duvet covers from distruction.

The broad in the bed is me!!!

Not a morning person me
