Lovely hill walk today that wasn't meant to be 2 hours long but we got lost, and found this fabulous tree!

A leaning tree with green foliage, on a green field, with trees and fields in the background as far as the horizon, blue sky with wispy with cloud

A day off, a sunny September sky, a walk with Mavis around the grounds of a stately home 🖤

Beautiful sky earlier this morning 🧡

Apparently Jaws was on TV last night, which puts me in mind of a favourite meme...

A photo from Jaws film, with an actor reclined on a boat, and Bruce (the animatronic great white shark) lay next to him. The text: Robert? Yeah? Whatcha thinkin' about?

Don't make yourself small for anyone. Be the awkward, funny, intelligent, beautiful little weirdo that you are. Don't hold back. Weird it out.

Happy 10th Birthday Mavis! ❤️ Just a small bite of cake then 😳 😂

A couple of days flirting with the English/Welsh border. Raglan Castle and Forest of Dean 🖤

The tallest tower at Raglan Castle, partly in ruins, surrounded by a moat covered in water lilly and green algae. Blue sky and whispy clouds in the background.

An opening in a castle wall, looking out to trees, fields, and blue sky. It looks like a framed picture.

The Iron Works sculpture - a series of wooden sleepers, each with a unique carving (the one nearest has an arrowhead carving), set to look like a railway track.

The Cathedral - a large colourful stained glass window depicting a forest scene of trees, a pathway, animals, and fields. It is suspended above the tree lined footpath in the forest.

If anybody else's dog is struggling with the heat, try getting them to lie on a damp towel. Mavis has gone from panting and unsettled, to spark out and breathing normally within 5 minutes.

Awoke from a dream in which I was a cafe owner, had conflict with a disrespectful customer, who then firebombed the cafe, but I could only find the right boots of my Dr. Martens and was more concerned about that than getting to safety...

Bolted to Wales for the weekend to escape the last of the heat 💚💙🩶

The breeze is most welcome. I just wish it didn't feel like a hairdryer on maximum heat. At least the worst is almost over... (Of this heatwave anyway)

Currently got my nose buried in this book. 3rd time reading it and I'm still engrossed. (Just don't mention the film...)

Nice little hill walk today. But don't be fooled by the hazy clouds, I was boiled by the time we got to the trig point 🥵

Thorpe Park was lots of fun! Short queue times meant we got to do 10 roller coaster rides in all. I haven't outgrown theme parks - yay! 😆

I'm visiting Thorpe Park next week, and obviously can't take Mavis with me, so I've ordered a t-shirt with this print on it to wear on the day 😍😂

The sound of my dog crunching ice cubes makes me laugh. If it was a person doing it, I'd absolutely be considering throat punching them.

Mavis, lying on her cool mat, snoring her socks off. I've just made her some doggy ice lollies for later 🖤 (Wish I had a cool mat) 😆

I've done all I'm going to do around the house... time to shut out the ☀️ and sit like a mushroom in the cool dark 🖤

I've come to the conclusion that I'm just not cut out for working full time...
