| This gorgeous giggle of spaniels |
We were delighted to accept a short sit just before we were to leave the UK. Here, we were to be entertained by a lovely family of spaniels - mother Rosa, her daughter Dora and ring-in Cracker (who suits her name to a tee!).
The girls were such good company, taking us for two, sometimes three, walks around the property each day where we spotted a number of deer and some hares. The girls chase neither but are well trained in the art of flushing the odd pheasant that we came upon.
In the evenings we were all happy to settle down in the snug for some cuddle time.

The girls also had their beds under the bench in the kitchen that they liked to hang out in while we were cooking or baking.

There was always plenty of time for more snuggles ......
We absolutely loved hanging out with these three such affable and energetic companions.
We got back to Bury St Edmunds just in time to say a thank you and farewell (for now) to James's Mum and Dad and catch the train to London for the weekend with Clare's niece and family. A well timed trip into the city centre for visit the museum had join in with the Pro Palestine march.

Then a twirl around The British Museum. As we will be in Athens sometime before Christmas it seemed apt to view the Parthenon frieze, or Elgin Marbles , that were stolen by Lord Elgin back in the day when it seemed possible to do such a monumentally (parden the pun) absurd thing. We will take a trip to see where they are supposed to be in-situe and wonder again at the misdeeds done by the landed gentry throughout history.
Farewell England. Next stop Georgia!!
