Dawn . . . .

The day began very early - 2am to be exact! I let Ollie and Scratch out for a pee when I got up for a similar purpose, Ollie came straight back in, but Scratch decided she would stay outside and enjoy the freedom!

It took several biscuits worth of bribes and lots of cajoling to get her back in, and in the mean time I got my camera and took a few shots of the sunrise. The frustrating thing is that you have to be so encouraging and inviting, trying to get her to come to you, when you feel like just shouting at her and commanding her to come in! Eventually, when Ollie had had about half a dozen biscuits, tiny ones, Scratch consented to come back in the house, settled down in her bed and slept until nearly 9am!

We had a good hour plus walk round the cliffs this morning, and then they, Ollie and Scratch, had a nice restful sleep during the afternoon while I went to work in the craft shop. Lots of tourists around, all spending phenomenal amounts of money - quite amazing, but very nice!
