Holiday Time!

I have been staying with Ali and Graeme with Lucy, Meg and Murphy. We've been off to the Yorkshire Dales! It was a bit chilly so I had to wrap up warm. I was told that it was colder than normal - we even had a couple of snow showers on our walks.

When we arrived at the cottage I made friends with the bear who lives in the garden. he props the door open... and was just a bit handsome!

I helped plan the walks. I would spread out the Ordnance Survey maps, consult the weather forecast, check my compass and plan our route. We only got lost once.

Sometimes we walked high up on the moors and sometimes by rivers. We saw lots of birds, many were nesting so I was very lucky that none of them tried to pull out my fur for nest material! There was lots of ducklings on the rivers, very cute - but not as cute as me of course!

We did a stretch of the Pennine Way and also wandered along the Leeds Liverpool Canal.

My little legs are very tired from all that walking. We are home again now and I have been helping in the garden this weekend. I need to get my washing done as I'll soon be thinking of packing my bags to head off on my next adventure!

This is me on the way to the theatre to see 'Les Miserables'.

i found a new friend

I was helped up looking at the views, but i found a new friend to travel with, she did not say much, all i know she came from Tweedsplace and she travels with her new family, the views amazing, i hope i can come back next year,

look at the views

I had a fab time looking at the views in Mid Wales at Hafod estate on one of many walks we did, the weather was excellent for March, i was lucky, i got carried around, Alfie and Bonnie was playing, Lucy and Pip just chilled out in the sun,

I have been a good bear and went to church on Sunday to prey that all gaps homeless hounds find their forever homes and the pooly hounds get better, love Scarlett.

Scarlett becomes a midwife & Valentines Day

Hello fellow Gappers,

just thought i'd update you all on what i've been up to for the last couple of weeks and phew what a couple of weeks its been!! I went to stay with George and her OH Subbo and looks like i got there in the nick of time! It seems that they had a little baby on the way and needless to say i was glad to offer my services. Here are a few piccies of the happy event, once i'd finished with the towels and boiling water.

Here I am showing George how to get on all fours bear-style on a bean bag



Blimey, this gas and air are a bit of alright!! Apparantly George wanted them back though



Ha ha, and there she is looking very attractive - note the epidural (although she reckons that didnt help too much) wonder what shes listening to on her i-pod? dont think she'll thank me for this photo actually!



Time for a quick family shot between contractions



Hurray!! After lots of screaming and words i cant repeat on here little baby Tom is born. Here he is, not even 10 minutes old




Ooh what a lucky bear i am - Valentines Day arrived. Looks like i have a secret admirer.



Finally it was time for me to leave. Goodbye to my new friend little Tom. I am very sad to leave but looking forward to my next adventure......
