Here we go again.... This time it is Tuchena's turn! On 14th March I noticed a large cut on Tuchena's hip. She and Zephyr had been playing in the garden and they can play rough and fast. We guess that this had something to do with it, but can't be sure. She obviously caught it …
Proper Snow!
A couple of weeks ago 'The Beast from the East' brought heavy snow to the west country. We rarely get snow of any significance, so along with the chaos it causes (being stuck at work for two days because I couldn't get home) it is also a great opportunity for us to get outside and …
A quick trip to Aberystwyth
Our friends (Dan & Kim) moved from Bath to Aberystwyth earlier this year and now that they are settled we decided it was time to pay them a visit! I met Dan when we worked together about 15 years ago and we have always kept in touch - you know sometimes how someone comes in …
Trip # 5 in Albus – My Best Friends Wedding and The Welsh 3000 challenge
When your best friend lives an 8 hour drive away and is getting married, the best thing to do is turn it in to a road trip 🙂 We set off the afternoon before the wedding and headed North. We took our time stopping regularly for breaks as it was warm (less so the further …

Trip# 4 in Albus – Climbing in Portland
Leon had planned a day trip to meet a friend to go climbing for the day. At the last minute we decided to make a weekend of it as we needed cheering up and I didn't wan't to be left home alone. I am still finding the house too quiet and empty since we lost …
Trip #2 in Albus – The NC500
So this is it, the reason we bought the camper van.....a 12 night trip around the Scottish Highlands. We planned to take the route known as the NC500 (North Coast 500) which starts at Inverness and heads West, follows the West Coast up to Durness, then the North Coast road East to John O'Groats and …
Hello 2017….let’s get some adventures under way!
So, the Christmas and New Year break were busy for Zephyr 🙂 I made lots of plans to continue to work on his ever growing confidence (have i mentioned just how proud I am of him lately??). The first few years may have seem so terribly slow and soul destroying, but we are now reaping …

Dartmoor – A turning point for Zeph
It can sometimes be hard to strike a life balance when you live with Zephyr. We have come such a long way in the 3 years he has been with us, but this has been partly due to quite a few sacrifices on our part. The things we took for granted before Zeph joined us became …
It’s been a while….
I have just realised that it has been over a year since I updated this Blog!! It has been a busy year, I managed to complete a degree in leadership and management and qualify as a TTouch practitioner. Now I have some free time I will get back to blogging about my adventures with Zephyr. …
Snuffle Time
When you go on holiday in the UK during November it is a good idea to have some 'rainy day plans'. For me this year, that included attempting to make a snufflemat for the dogs. The idea of a snufflemat is for there to be lots of layers for a dog to snuffle about in …
