ALL QUIET ON THE DOG FRONT



Shep has settled in really well and there is no fighting at all. He has turned out to be a really gentle dog who loves company.
A real find!

FRONT GARDEN



The weather is picking up at last and now there arwe loads of Iris's in the front garden.

Might even be able to have the first BBQ of the year soon.

MORE FROM BIRMINGHAM



Just a couple more photos of a great weekend.


REUNION


Over 100 serving and ex serving navy chefs and caterers met up in Birmingham over the weekend.
The event was held at the Nautical Club in Bishopgate Street


Great to see so many old and new faces for what was a great weekend of beer and laughter.


The weather was kind as well and we were able to get out and about around the Birminham canal for a drink on Sunday.

Brilliantly organised to coincide with the "Gay Pride" festival as well!

FIRST 3 DOG WALK


A wet miserable morning in Brittany, but still fun for the dogs on their first bonding walking session.


After a slow start, Shep was soon into full swing and playing along.
Hell of a wet kitchen floor right now with 12 wet paws soaking the deck.

PEACE ARRIVES




It's all calmed down rather well. Maybe it's too hot to fight.

RESCUE DOG ARRIVES



A bit of an uneasy start as "Shep" (Current name) has had a bit of a dust up with Arthur, but that's because there was food around.
But now after 3 hours, all dogs are now settled and sleeping, all be it with one eye open.

IMPROVING WEATHER



It has certainly warmed up this past week in St Potan, but the wind is still making the temperature seem cooler.


The dogs walking has been shortened a bit because of the shit the locals put in the field, but Bella and Arthur still have plenty of space to play.


We don't take the ball anymore on the walk for Bella to play with. That makes her more inquisitive, so now digging and getting covered in dirt is a favourite hobby.



There is always the toys in the garden after the walk.
I can't think of a better place to walk dogs.

MASTERCHEF


I see the Masterchef Final was on TV last night.
hey really haven't got a clue have they.

Tonight in the Gard Manoir I am cooking braised sheeps hearts with a Julienne of carrot and served with al dente pasta au beurre.
That's not for us, but for the dogs, because 2 sheeps hearts were just a quid in the supermarket.

A little tip for you guy's out there...
Make the Missus think she is on masterchef by taking one mouthful of the dinner she has cooked, then tell her what is wrong with it!
