Given the bad news around I think it’s time to look to the good side of life.

So lets see some piccies that make you smile.

I’ll start the bidding with this little guy, he looks like he is heaven 🙂

“Glamping” at Warwick Castle last weekend
Not alI my children, I hasten to add, (just the boys), but they absolutely loved it.
Thoroughly recomended.
Best weekend in ages.
I was seen to smile on several occasions. 🙂

I have a family of Tawny Owls that have just fledged in my wood – I spend my nights standing out there “talking” to them. Last night, one landed on a branch right next to my head – didn’t hear a thing until it screeched in my ear! Can’t show any photos due to the low light, but this video always cheers me up…

Whilst fat biking up in the Outer Hebrides last month, we saw this little horse on a little island stuck in the bay quite randomly, which started lots of banter about whether it was a small horse on a small island or just far away, Father Ted style and looking at it always makes me chuckle.

How to wash a puppy!

is that last picture when all the local Death Eaters started to come out?

Death eaters? 😆
Guess you mean Mosquitos- and yep the little buggers pestered us all for the night 👿

Im afraid i have to trump the lot of you with this wee fella:

My 4th son Oscar, born on 22nd July at 2.45am.
He is a little beauty 😀

This always makes me smile…

Saw him race in Whistler last year. I can confirm he is faster than 90% of the people here.
