Well it was only a matter of time. In my last blog I noted that Carly was outraged that Rooster was poorly and getting lots of attention. So yesterday, fed up with the incessant rain, he booked himself into the Barn Hospital with a slight bit of heat in his off fore. He took up residence in the room next to Rooster and spent the night there. Trouble is that this morning he is bored and wants to go out. I predict fun times ahead with a restless grey.
"Let me out, I'm feeling better now"
Rocky is making good progress with his education and is confidently strolling around the estate, as he is still a novice he has had to have a chaperone. The burgeoning injury list has meant that our doleful ex-racehorse Kavi has had to do the job. The problem here is that, while he will happily follow anyone anywhere he is a bit lacking in confidence when he has to be the leader. Things that he has insouciently strolled past a hundred times in the past take on new terrors.
Dragons may be hiding behind here
I have been spending the summer setting up a new service for everyone where I will research your family tree. Please take a minute to have a look at the website.

It was my birthday this week so H and I went to Shrewsbury for a pub crawl and very good it was too. Shrewsbury is my home town and as we were walking between pubs we passed the house where one of my Aunties lived back in the day. We were standing at the side of the house and while I was boring H (It's raining and Salopian oracle is on tap in the next pub) the guy who owned the premises came out to see what we were doing. I explained what we were doing and he was very friendly saying that he had some old photos of the terrace that i might like to look at including ones that I might recall of the flooding that took place back in the 1920s.
Thanks Mat !, we made our excuses and headed off to pub number four.
