On Sunday both our sons, our daughter in law, future daughter in law, our grandson, and a springer spaniel all arrived. Except for the spaniel the others have gone off to Val d'Isere for a week's skiing. Brown in colour the dog has the apt name of Cocoa ! Apparently does not refer to her colour and should be "Coco" after Coco Chanel !
I have to confess that Cocoa has now calmed down somewhat since her puppy days and now represents an ideal reason for me to go for a walk. She also entertained us today by nearly catching our dinner - a pheasant that had foolishly wandered into our garden !
Another source of amusement today was a Shaun the Sheep:
These colourful creations had been displayed through Bristol and London before being auctioned for charity. It would seem that this one has found its way to this location just outside Bristol Childrens' Hospital.
Each month my blog takes a theme. This month it is perhaps appropriate for me to choose confidence and thus this quotation:
When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun.
And when you have fun, you can do amazing things.
