This weekend we visited the Grand folks and their dog 'Coco' at their home in Lincolnshire. I LOVE it there - Grandad is a cabbage farmer and they live surrounded by fields of vegetables and flowers. And of course I get to hang out with my bestest friend Coco :) On Saturday we visited an antiques fair at a nearby castle, I was on guard protecting the folks from any suspicious looking antiques ( you can never be too careful) Luckily I noticed a very shady looking character - a stuffed toy dog on wheels. I dealt with him firmly with a succession of very LOUD barks, he quickly got the message and I was also very quickly removed from the scene ( by an embarrassed Dad). I was very impressed with the castle too, I think it would be much nicer to live there rather than London but sadly the folks don't seem convinced ( I will work on them:) On Sunday Mummy decided that it would be a good idea (in the baking heat) to go to a car boot sale - I thought she was crazy and therefore refused to walk far and sunbathed at every opportunity. Luckily we didn't stay long and got home in time for the tennis - the madness seem to continue whilst watching the match though, Mummy ended up in tears and Daddy was jumping up and down punching the air. Funny lot these humans :)

Look at my tum Coco !

My day at the BRIT school

Mummy teaches art at the BRIT School in London and this Wednesday I convinced her to take me along too for the day as I wanted to see what she gets up too when I'm not with her. I had a lovely day and met some very friendly people who all seemed to find me quite a delight! I helped Mummy with her mural painting class and even helped clean the floor - picking up everything I could find and trying to eat it : ) All Mummy's students were very patient with me, and kept picking me up to show me what work they had done. I was very impressed. I hope to go back again soon to check on their progress :)

My first swim

Today Mummy and I got on a train at St.Pancras to visit Mummy's lovely friend (and fellow amazing artist) who lives in St.Albans. First of all we went for a super walk to see a whole field of cornflowers -'a vision in blue' according to Mum. I also enjoyed eating the delicious horse poo - funnily enough Mummy didn't seem too pleased with this. We then went back to Rydal's for an even more delicious lunch :) Whilst the grown ups were eating I had a wander round their garden - investigating what I thought was a strange patch of grass I suddenly found myself submerged in wet stuff - apparently I had fallen in their pond. Thankfully I was quickly rescued and wrapped in a fluffy pink towel. Not sure what to make of it all to be honest - I think Mum could have least offered me some of her wine to calm my nerves! It was a lovely day but next time I think I will stay inside and continue to destroy their rug (sorry Rydal and Chris! )

Amazing field of cornflowers

Pretty to look at - nice to eat too

Strange looking grass - let me have a closer look ....

All the fun of the fair !

Wow- what an amazing weekend, I've been to a party, helped Mummy teach life drawing, watched Mummy's friend Perienne sing in a choir and to top it all off the folks took me to the fair today! I was tempted by the waltzers but Daddy said he didn't fancy it ( I think he was scared ) and Mummy was being over protective when she said the dodgems were too dangerous for me. I'm hoping I might be able to able to slip out later and let my fur down ;)
