Storm at the beach

A Not To Plan Day today. Emily was perturbed to find footballers in her field. Grace and Storm didn't seem bothered at all. A bit of yapping to tell them to go away didn't work.

A celebration of being middle aged with a tip run and to the garden centre for amother sack of decorative stones to finish off the chiminea landscaping. Rain stopped gardening plans.

I put up the new Christmas tree and decided I didn't like it. No idea where the lights have gone and the decorations were too big for its weedy 3ft size. It was swiftly put back in its box. A quick shopping visit to a sell-everything-shop but we didn't see a tree we liked. I think we are hankering after a proper decent size tree which isn't going to happen again this year! Puppies' safety comes first.

A gusty walk on the beach surrounded by grey sea and grey sky. Grace looked very unimpressed with being dragged out in the cold. She is going to the vet to be spayed tomorrow so lots of cuddles tonight :(
