Walk from Bury

We wanted to take a walk this morning but because it had snowed we knew the Nature walk would be very muddy. Nigel was going to Ramsey so he said he could drop us at Bury & we could walk back from there.......about 2 miles! It was a beautiful day!

We had to be careful when we started off because of the melting snow....we were getting splashed as cars went by!

Look at this beautiful driveway!



The view from the top of the hill.

Someone had carved this fallen tree into a bench.

No one was working....I'm sure all that snow was the problem!!!!





This is the beginning of the High Street

This is called Post Office Row & the end house is where I was born.

My father died when I was two & Terry was three & everyone told my Mother she couldn't possibly raise us alone. She remarried & Greg & Nigel were also born here. They bought the land on Meadow Lane & started a farm when Nigel was still a baby.

The local pub.

We used to take this bus to Peterborough to visit my Grandfather.......we would ride at the top & I always got carsick! Didn't make any difference I'd still do again the next time!



A pathetic attempt at a snowman! They need to see some real snow!

Spring is right around the corner!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Liza's treat ball

This is one of the most important things in our house - it is Liza's treat ball! I bought this about 9 or 10 years ago & it had a "trap door" where the gaping hole is & when you put treats in it you could control how easily they would fall out as the ball rolled around. Liza learned that if she rolled it down the stairs the treats would usually fall out which is why it looks this way. I have tried super glue etc. but it never stays together! It is sadly beaten & broken but try as I may I have never been able to find another one like it. I have spent hours looking & have bought many similar but nothing will ever take it's place. She knows where it is almost all the time - usually keeps it in her bed - but when it's missing she just paces the house until someone helps her find it. She used to be able to hold it in her mouth like this by just hooking it onto her eye tooth Now she just puts her bottom jaw into the opening like this There is a rit...
