Trip to the farm - I loved the pigs and the baby goats.

Royal Baby - First Photos

And a name - The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have named their son George Alexander Louis.

New Fence

Our new fence went up today. It looks great and is very strong so hopefully will stand up to the winter winds. It has been very hot today for the poor guys putting up but they did a great job.

Royal Baby

Kate and William announced the birth of their baby son today - born at 4.24 and weighing 8lb 6 oz.
The announcement was made in the traditional way by placing it on an easel outside Buckingham Palace.

The world now waits for a first look at the baby and to hear his name. He is third in line to the throne after Charles and William.

Summer Holiday

Sam, Casey, Pixel and I have had a great week away in Hillersland, Gloucestershire. The weather was great - too hot some days, the only thing we didn't use all week was out coats!

Saturday 13th -we gave the dogs a good walk on the Downs before leaving at around 11.30. The journey was fine - a little slow on the M1 but the rest was ok. We stopped twice to let the dogs out for a run and a drink. They were both very good in the car - just settled down for a sleep.

We arrived at 'The Old Shop' around 4.00 - a sweet little cottage with a little garden area. Within five minutes Pixel had escaped through the gate but he came back of his own accord and didn't do it again all week - thank goodness!

'Only looking!'

The Old Shop attached to the owners house - still a working postbox too

The entrance to the Forest of Dean was right opposite the cottage

We spent the rest of the week chilling, walking in the Forest of Dean and exploring the area. Sam was tired so spent a lot of the week resting and sleeping.

Monmouth

 

On the way home we went to the beach at Western Super Mare for a play on the beach.

Wimbledon Win!

Andy Murray ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's Wimbledon champion with a 6-4 7-5 6-4 win over world number one Novak Djokovic. 

Sam and I didn't watch it lol - but we are glad he won! 

Louise & Andy's Wedding

We had a beautiful weekend helping Louise and Andy celebrate their wedding at Hengrave Hall.
It was the most beautiful day and the wedding was just perfect!
