I knew on Monday this would be a “Shit” week, with of course today to complete it.

How we miss that smiling face. I walked round to the cemetery to take some fresh flowers, it was all rather wet around there.

We always go out for a celebratory meal in memory of his life. We weren’t too sure where to go because of Ellie still being lethargic. The decision was made to go to the Bell at Minster as we know they welcome dogs and we know the food is good.

We couldn’t believe it, when we arrived the sun was shining and so we decided it was so lovely we would have lunch in the garden and it really was warm enough. It is also tradition that we toast him in Guiness.

A lovely afternoon.
