Winter seems to be staying for at least a couple of days, and whilst there is not much too much snow, there is enough of a dusting to make our woodland walks a bit more interesting. All the smells of the forest seem so fresh and we trail the scents of the woodland creatures with our noses always hoping to find out what it was!!
This is the story of two dogs, both border collies, who found their way from a sad and lonely existance of cruelty, abandonment and neglect to a happy and fulfilled life of outdoor fun with oodles of love and patience... and just a little bit of training too!

Winter has arrived.... finally!!
Sunshine and snow!! We love our walks on these fresh and crisp winter days! Everything looks so different and the light is so blue & beautiful. Our Mum thinks we look rather handsome all full of excitement and fluffed up in the cold!! She can't resist a few photographs of her favourite doggy duo and we of course never say no to a posey pic!!
Our park has been magically transformed into a stunning wintery wonderland and snowy playground especially just for our non stop paws & wagging tails!!

Eerie freezing fog & spooky woods
Well, it's feeling like winter is finally here at last!! Think it could possibly be our favourite time of year and we can't wait for the snow to come or more likely we go in search of it. There is plenty on the hills... so hopefully there's a wintery wonderland adventure in the planning for us soon!
Today, our walk was weirdly eerie in the woodland. A cloak of ghostly freezing fog was lying low and crystallising everything it touched. The leaves were fringed with frost, the branches hanging with delicately frozen filaments and everything dulled & faded in the straining light. Still, the crisp air was refreshing and we ran around like mad, in between the trees, along the paths and up & down the hills. Doesn't matter where we are... we always make our own fun together!!

Christmas day walk in winter sun
Little did we know when we were bundled into the car on Christmas day morning that we were heading for the beach of all places!! The low winter sun was shining beautifully for us and the beach and dunes had a warm glow about them. The sand was strewn with thousands of empty sea urchins all along the strandline, so must have been stormy the last few days... churning up the depths of the seas.
But not today... today was blissful and even though the water was a wee tad baltic... we still dipped our toes and surfed the waves!!
Happy Christmas folks... fun, family and lots of love... that's what makes us happy!!
