These waggon wheels are a bit tough!
After lots of meetings today, Caz took me and Leo on a little tupperware hunt in Tollesbury this evening, before we met up with some friends for a photowalk. We had to go through a farmyard, and we found these waggon wheels sitting by a fence. I thought waggon wheels were some sort of yummy choccy bikkie type thing? I think there’s something wrong with these – they are pretty tough!
These drumsticks are heavy!
Today we went with Caz to see lots of people pretending to be other people at a big battle re-enactment. This drum belongs to a friend who is from the English Civil War. It must mean that she is really old. Leo and me had fun playing the drum even though the sticks are very heavy.
Time to chill in the garden
It was very hot again today, so Leo and me decided to chill at home. We have had some very busy weekends recently, and although we had a great time, it is also nice to spend some time just relaxing.
We sat in the garden and cooked some lovely bangers and eggs on the barbeque – at least, I hope Leo is keeping an eye on them from behind his silly sunglasses – there’s nothing worse than burnt saussies!
It is very shiny
Today we had fun at the local village fête – there were stalls with candyfloss, ice cream and arty-crafty things for sale. And we saw a dog display team from Wales and a big marching band who palyed lots of nice tunes as they walked up and down. But my favourite was the big red fire engine which was on display and you could go and play with it.
At first, I was a bit nervous as I thought the firemen would want to put out my fire, but I had a chat with them and they were very friendly. They realised that I was another professional who deals with fire every day, and thought I was more than capable of keeping it under control. Here you can see me sitting on the front bumper of their enormous tender.
Who is the dirty rascal?
It was another very hot day today, but we enjoyed ourselves out and about in the sunshine. This is me and Leo sitting inside the big ruined castle in Framlingham.
We enjoyed exploring and even climbed up to the top of the walls to see what the view was like! If I’m the King of the Castle, does that make Leo the Dirty Rascal?
Without a creek?
Today we went with Caz to stay for the weekend in a big house in the country with some of her friends. We went for an explore while the others were sitting outside on the patio nattering, and found these big oars on the wall. Actually, they are called blades and you get them if you are in a rowing crew in an important race.
Me and Leo wanted to get a closer look to read the writing, so we hopped up and inched along to the end. It said that the rower had been in the winning Cambridge University boat called Goldie, which had beaten Oxford’s Isis boat by 6 lengths. Apparently that was in the 1977 reserve crew boat race. What a cool thing to commemorate their victory!
Which way is the sunset?
I spent most of the day gently snoozing indoors whilst Caz worked hard in her office. By the evening, she asked if I would like to come out for a little walk to see the sunset on Galleywood Common. I was ready to stretch my wings so we enjoyed watching the clouds and changing colours. I sat on top of this footpath sign to get a better view.
