Staying up in Lower Largo, in Scotland this week. It is very cold but we are still managing to do loads of walking on the local beaches and fields. Most places we go to I like very much, but I really do not like this cottage at all, I just feel uneasy staying here and most days I refuse to go into the house until Boss Woman gets cross with me. We had a lovely walk down the coast path to Crail, where we helped Boss Woman try to find a famous fossilised tree on the rocks on the beach but even though we spent ages looking, we couldn't find it anywhere, although Boss Woman did find a load of other interesting fossils embedded in the rocks. We went to the pub for lunch and me and Polly got to share her pie.

Returned home today from Alston and called at High Force in Middleton in Teesdale on the way back. It is a spectacularly powerful waterfall and I really did not fancy a swim in the raging water. The waterfall was really noisy and scary and me and Polly didn't like it at all.

Went with Boss Woman and Big Guy to see a boat being delivered to some friends of theirs. It was made in Poland and when it got to France on the way over here, they found some migrants hiding in the cabin. Anyway when we saw it being delivered, the migrants had already gone luckily, otherwise there wouldn't have been enough room for me and Amber to go aboard. It is a very nice boat and our friends Coco and Louis are going to live on it with their Boss people.

Just come back from 2 weeks in France. On the way down we called in Bayeux so Boss Woman and Big Guy could see the famous Bayeux Tapestry and then we went over the spectacular Pont De Normandie on the way to St. Nazaire near the Atlantique, where we stayed in a cottage for a week. We had some good walks on the massive beaches and went paddling in the sea. Second week we stayed in a cottage in Roche au Vent in the Loire Valley, which was very nice and we met Milo the resident Collie. The cottage was lovely with plenty of room, even though the man that owned it was a bit weird, Patricia the lady was very nice and liked me and Amber. We had some nice long walks in the woods, walks by the Loire river, visited some Troglodyte houses and helped Boss Woman collect chestnuts.

Did a lovely circular 6 mile walk by the river and in the fields and woods around Henley today. Tell you what, Henley is like one of those horror films where everyone is like zombies. No one hardly spoke, no one hardly smiled and they certainly do not like dogs like me and Amber. Well seeing I am a therapy dog, I think I would need to go back and give them all therapy because there is something very odd about almost everyone we saw. The walk was good though. There was one woman trying so hard to not walk near me that she almost fell in the river. Ha Ha.
