Farewell Old Friend !

Sadly Wooster had really deteriorated over the last 3-4 days. He had refused all food - even his usual very favourite treats. His walking was now very wobbly, but he made it to the field for one last visit this morning. This photo shows him at his magnificent best. Such a lovely gentle chap but it was time to say goodbye. Our home will seem rather empty with only little Maisie now we shall try to make sure she doesn't get depressed as she hasn't lived as an only dog before.

Many thanks to Vet Anita Rennie at Rosevean Vets Pz. for her kindness and care over the years. 

Sunday

 

Unfortunately Wooster had a very bad evening and night and seems to have stopped eating - we slowly went down to the field where Maisie could have a run around.

Just a slow wander

This afternoon I took Maisie for her walkies up the hill - under this nasty dark cloud

EMS Lyra still at anchor and Fri Skien had arrived from Spain

Maisie was thrilled to see Nic on his way home from swimming again.

Love this Purple Toadflax that always grows by our wall

Fine morning, but a little cooler

Afternoon walkies after yet another day of hard work - Jim finished mowing the field and I tidied up the drive. 

Lots more cloud this afternoon

Quite a mixture of high cloud

Field looking good - for just a little while!

Friday

 

Cloudy first thing

Jim asked the Council strimming team why they had not strimmed through the spoil heap as it's really grown since they did it before - they said that area is only a "once a year" on their instructions - pity, as there's lots of spikey and sharp bits there already. They did actually come and strim along our part of the path - which didn't need doing and happily strimmed a couple of young Echiums Hmm!

Surf School were in today.  We both got on with our jobs - Jim mended the fence and then set about mowing the field where the dreaded Spotted Medic was growing fast. I got on with the gardening - well at least tidying it up as best I can!

Later on SCIII returning from Scilly on her early Friday schedule

More than half the field done - all 4 of the big batteries used. It had got really rather hot again so we just went to the field

Not sure what Maisie has spotted

Really very pleasant out there
