Festus and the pigeon

On Father’s Day we spent some time in the garden with Festus. He had a couple of toys to play with. One of the pigeons who has his nest on our neighbour’s tree arrived for his breakfast. Of course, he wasn’t bothered by Festus. He is used to Festus and that makes me think he […]

At Windsor with Festus

We’ve been to London last week with business. We’ve decided to make the journey into a longer trip. After London we stopped at Windsor and in another wonderful location I’m going to blog about these days. I saw Windsor Castle last year and I wanted to stop again. The lawn seemed the perfect place to […]

Festus, the sleeping dog

I avoid blogging about my dog because this subject can be boring for non-dog owners, but the way he is sleeping is too cute not to be mentioned. After our usual morning walk, he must sleep, so he can be prepared for a new walk in the evening. I’ve posted a couple of months ago […]

October 2021

We said goodbye to Festus. Initially I didn’t want to put the picture on the day, but I thought it will not make any difference, as it’s not something that I will ever forget. It’s been very hard for us, as we had him for so long and he has been with us everyday since […]

September 2021

This month so many things happened. We’ve started the month by visiting in and around Liverpool and it ended up with me moving to London, which we knew, of course, but it is still a huge change. On top of that, we’ve celebrated Festus’ 12th birthday, something we never imagined possible for his breed and […]

August 2021

August was a very busy month. I enjoyed watching the Olympics and Paralympics, like the final at the wheelchair rugby, that was so exciting. I’m watching Paralympics online so I avoid in part the commentary between games. What I don’t understand is why the British commentators are rooting for anyone but the British athletes. I […]

The Vegan Kind. August Boxes

The Vegan Kind has two boxes in August, both lifestyle and beauty. This month they arrived in time and I am pleased with what they had inside too. I’m very happy with both. I got the subscription almost an year ago and, overall, I am happy with them. Some months are better than others, I […]

My garden in August

My garden in August

In August last year the garden was finished, after doing a lot of jobs, from changing concrete fence posts to wall it around with white panels for privacy. I never imagined that we were going to enjoy the garden so much. Now I am writing this post sitting on a bench in the garden while […]

July 2021

First of all, from a personal point of view, July was pretty amazing. I received my results back and I’m delighted. I got more than I hoped for at my IELTS (English language test), even if I didn’t have time to prepare and I already had two more exams that week. I received my results […]

My garden in July

My garden in July looks great. I am so happy to see all the plants and flowers in bloom. We are spending lots of time in the garden, as we’ve been doing for the past year. This weekend it will be very hot, so we’ll stay in the garden with Festus, giving him quick showers […]
