This weekend I have mostly...

[Gooby]

... been chilling out by the sea.
Sometime my work means I have to spend time in London. Though I enjoy my work, London is a horrid place to work and the commute is close to killing me. After a week in the smoke, this is a sorbet for the soul.




An unknown beach, disturbed by no one. The dogs can run and play freely, a small fire to warm us as the stars come out and chestnuts and sausages cooked on the fire. A great sunset and a starry sky, the sound of an owl....
Fresh air, no demands.

Most of the sticks are "sausage sticks". Mrs Gooby is discovering the art of "whittling". Gave her a knife and a stick and she creates the perfect tool for getting Gooby's attention.

Looks like a lake but that is the sea! When the tide is out we go finding clams and cockles, put them in the fire for a couple of mins and heaven....
When the tide come in then out comes the fishing rod.

6 hours ago I was drinking wine and scoffing nice olives on a beach in the South of France in a T-shirt. Now I'm back home in the piggin cold trying to light the fire with a bag of charcoal and a few logs left over from last winter!!

Sod this... going back to SoF as soon as.

That looks beautiful Gooby. Nice piccies!
I'm not sure that I'd let Mrs T loose with pointy sticks too near me!!
Although its a bit cool at this time of the year once the majority of grockles go home at the end of this week (following kids half term) the beaches and coves here in South Devon are near deserted. Beautiful.

Gooby, Are they ridgebacks?

Clearly the romantic atmosphere has effected one of your dogs and he has other things on his mind

[SpeedYellow]

What you need to get hold of is a well sorted Land Rover so you can really go explore and enjoy the countryside!

Now where could you get one of those.....

Hi Bill,
No they are not ridgebacks (though I have a huge softspot for the breed)
Dee Dee (the mum) is a Viszla,


and the other 2 are her pups. Dee Dee is about the most clever and resourceful dog I have ever met. While in season she went through 3 locked doors to get to a rotty that she fancied and the result was 9 huge pups. We found homes for them without too much trouble but Daisy (looks like a black lab on stilts) decided that she wanted to be with me and Dooley (tall thing with rotty markings) loved Mrs Gooby, so they have stayed, they run the house and brighten my day.

Quality pics there Goobs. DeeDee is lovely, the coolest dog I've ever met.

[Bill K 111]

True. Lovely dogs. Great story.

[anniesdad]

Me too, except it was for a whole week in the West Highlands.
