Ming Blog for July 2011 Summer time is clearly very busy for us doggies.  I usually skip our morning walks as I do not want to miss out on meeting and greeting with Linda.  If ever you need to find me I will be in my small chair next to the meet and greet table.Continue Reading

Back in Full Swing

Written on June 27, 2011 at 10:12 pm, by

Our visitor season has started and I am back in full swing as “meeter and greeter’ as well as tour guide around the garden – some people take the hint and follow me but not all.

A bit late, sorry…

Sorry everyone I am late with my blog this week as it is hard to pin Patsy down to help me!!! Another party in the Great Hall so I am just checking that those cheeky jackdaws are not planning to join in. Sometimes they have been known to appear in the hall when the familyContinue Reading

The first week of May

Written on May 15, 2011 at 8:51 pm, by

May got off to a great start for us doggies as the annual plant fair took place on the 1st of May which we play a big part in. I of course spend a lot of the day chatting everyone up and giving them my full attention, while Molly cleans up in the garage whichContinue Reading

A hot, busy April

Written on May 1, 2011 at 4:18 pm, by

Us doggies have rather enjoyed this month as we have been able to lie out in the court yard in glorious sun. Molly has a bad habit of having dust baths which do not amuse Patsy but it does give us a good excuse to have lots of swims in the Spring. Visitors have beenContinue Reading

Our visitor season has started and I am back in full swing as “meeter and greeter’ as well as tour guide around the garden – some people take the hint and follow me but not all.     The moat, as the family seem to call it but I think it is just a glorifiedContinue Reading

Getting ready for the new season at Great Chalfield Manor

Written on April 3, 2011 at 12:18 pm, by

The Chalfield post box is on our daily afternoon walk. When Patsy is posting her mail we manage to persuade her to go further but no such luck with Robert as he simply turns around and back to the office so we quite often just wait by the gate as what is the point inContinue Reading

Goings and comings

Written on March 22, 2011 at 9:50 am, by

It was hard enough saying good bye to Jamie’s house party but on Monday morning something was definitely not quite right as Patsy was running around in a great hurry and really not giving us much time. By lunch time they were off and away. Even though they managed to hide the suitcases just inContinue Reading

At last it is warm enough…

At last it is warm enough to go out side and keep warm. Molly and I are back in the Spring after our muddy walks which is much easier than that dreaded basin. The lambs are back but I don’t like their mummies as they are bigger than me so we avoid them on ourContinue Reading

Snowdrops, rain, and Jamie’s Farm

Written on February 20, 2011 at 4:45 pm, by

Oh dear this Winter has been very long. Now we seem to have a huge amount of rain and every time we go out we come home covered in mud and have to go through that horrible washing routine. It is going to be one of those years when the daffodils and the snowdrops appearContinue Reading
