A photo of Torin, two years ago at Guzelyali Beach in Cyprus. We went to see the baby turtles. Torin fell in love with this stray dog Buddy and wanted to take him home. A home was found for him a few weeks later. He loved dogs and found them far less complicated than people. I have to keep remembering the good times that we shared.
Mal and I booked a break away in Romney. I know it’s not far but it was at a time when I couldn’t really think of holidays, so we just booked it as we love it and so does Ellie. We drove the pretty way and stopped at Hamstreet garden centre as we had done previously. The staff are just so lovely there, even the Manager spent about half hour chatting to us, telling us that in a couple of weeks they are introducing a “dog area” in the restaurant. It didn’t matter to us today as after shopping we ate outside in the sun. Four of the staff wanted to take Ellie home!
We have stayed at this caravan site before and it is right opposite Greatstone Beach. So we collected the keys, the receptionist told us it was compulsory for them to pet all the dogs, especially Golden retrievers!
The caravan was spotlessly clean and larger than we booked! So we unpacked and then went over to the beach. It was still very warm but there were only two other people on the beach.
Thought for the Day – “We are the rememberers, the people left behind, to keep the one who has gone from us alive in heart and mind, the people left to cherish and preserve a legacy. Yes, we are the rememberers………………and we will always be.”
