Last couple of sits - UK, Sep 2026


 Next up ..... Jerry in Woodbridge, another area of Suffolk we are very familiar with as we have done previous sits not far from here.  Jerry is a gorgeous 5yo labrador.  There's a theme going on for sure.  Jerry was so much fun to walk.  Every morning we took him out for a long ramble.  He was nearly impossible to wear out.


Kyson Point

Felixstowe

Our favourite walk from the village hall

Jerry is definitely the kind of dog that required walking in the very welcome rain we finally got after a long dry spell.

This sit also came with a beach hut at Felixstowe.  We only used it the once but it was quite fun.  Clare took Jerry for a long walk down the promenade whilst James (unsuccessfully) attempted to spin up a fish for dinner.

Jerry's afternoon walk was from the house and through the horse fields to an old refuse site.

Turned out Jerry didn't have the temperament for fishing so James took to going out on his own to Waldringfield.  Nothing caught for the table but he was so happy to be back on the water.

We also spent an afternoon at Sutton Hoo, the National Heritage site where a king was buried with his boat.  We kid you not!   We have seen the treasures that were discovered here in the British Museum so it was great to see the actual site.   It was a truly fascinating trip.  When we got home we watched the Netflix movie made about it - The Dig.

We loved our sit with Jerry. 

Morning cuddles

We then took a couple of trains to Wandsworth in London to spend a long weekend with this treasure.

2yo Labradoodle, Crumble

We walked Crumble around Wandsworth Common every morning.  It was just like one giant puppy play date with as many as 50 or more dogs and their owners running around enjoying each other's company.  So much fun!

Crumbles favourite part of the walk was a swim in the duck pond.

We managed a final catch up with family before we flew out to New Zealand. Uk .... it's a wrap!
