On our early walk this morning we met a 13 week old Goldie puppy. Ellie loved it and it was very attracted to Ellie.

We booked a lodge away for a week which I hadn’t been thinking about because of my tooth pain. I just needed to get that sorted and then think about our holiday. So, we packed and Mal went and drenched the allotments. We also did the same in the garden in case there isn’t any rain while we are gone.

We set off after lunch and took the pretty route, stopping off at St Mary’s Bay on the way. We only stopped for a drink, the place was heaving with day trippers. We are staying at Shear Barn, next to Hastings country park.

We arrived earlier than we should have done but they were happy to hand the keys over.

Well, we were impressed with our lodge, a huge fridge and a separate freezer, even a dishwasher. Lots of decking with outside seating which Ellie loved lying out there. And a sea view as well.

We watched a bit of football and then sat outside having a drink.

Thought for the Day – “If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man’s life, sorrow and suffering, enough to disarm all hostility.” ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
