Where does the time go??

It is hard to believe that we have not updated our blog for over a month! It has been a busy, busy month but nonetheless, we seem to have lost time.......certainly there has not be a moment where we could collect our thoughts, formulate some kind of summary and publish a new post. Is it our age? They say time flies, especially as you grow older.....we are finding this to be an absolute truth.

Since last blogging we have completed a house and pet sit in Edinburgh, looking after a Golden Retriever and a Newfoundland. Photos and brief summaries to follow. It was fabulous. Our first visit to Edinburgh and my (Tracy), first ever visit to Scotland!
It was a tad chilly on some days but we had plenty of sunshine and not too much of the wet stuff. There will be a separate post about our time in Edinburgh in due course.

Whilst in Edinburgh we organised a fact finding trip to Burgundy in France. The trip was a success for a number of reasons, not least the kind people we met, the fine wines we discovered and the good food we enjoyed - the autumnal sunshine was a bonus!
More on Burgundy in a later post.........

September 29th and we find ourselves on the Greek island of Crete. House and pet sitting and exploring the island over the next month should be fun....watch this space!

And just in case you forgot what we look like...............!

Long walks & Lazy pub lunches

Our time in the Cotswolds passed all too quickly. We had a super week. The weather was kind with plenty of sunshine. There are numerous walks in this part of the world and we managed to walk several sections of the Macmillan Way whilst we were there.
The countryside is stunning and Della and I marvelled at how much we take for granted the beauty that is right on our doorstep here in the West Country. We have been so lucky so see and enjoy some very special and very beautiful scenery all over the world. Whilst we both like a quick fix of city life our preference is always the wide open spaces of the countryside, the smell of freshly cut grass, the bird song - we are true country bumpkins and we were right at home during our brief stay at The Bakehouse.
