Summer of fun in the UK - May/Jun 2017

Field of buttercups, Knettishall Heath
And so it was back to the UK for summer.  Our first stop was London to see the family and drop off some knitting projects Clare had been working on for the children.


We also picked up a kayak we had bought for future fun/fishing trips.  We were hoping to score some sits on the coast to facilitate this idea.


Next, we headed back to Coney Weston to hang out with our mate, Sammy the Springer.  This is a repeat sit for us, and before we left here we had booked in yet another.   The weather was great and we again enjoyed our walks with Sammy at Knettishall Heath and around Euston Estate, upon which Sammy lives.

Butter wouldn't melt in this one's mouth!
His mum described him aptly and succinctly
when she said Sammy is the master of
selective obedience :-)
We also enjoyed some lovely cuddles with these two cuties ....

Clementine, a rare female ginger
James managed to get a year older and, as usual, we feasted royally on pigeons and other such fodder from the garden!  If you haven't tried pigeon breast yet, you really should :-)

You may have noticed a common theme of this blog ... lots of cute pets, yummy food and the odd fishing pic!!!!

James's mum and dad had planned a trip away for the week to attend a family wedding so we moved in to their place to pop a fresh coat of paint on their bedroom and bathroom.  It was a busy and tiring week but we were really happy with the outcome.  And they were too :-)
