We will be on SBT Welfare stand on Sunday 13th
The following w/e Sunday 20th November don't forget our Stafford Walk 11am start from Pets at Home Godalming. Join us and walk your Stafford with pride.
This morning we asked a friend to help us clear leaves in the garden and have a bonfire.
As he arrived a tree surgeon who is working on my neighbours garden also arrived. ( My neighbour is having lots of clearing work done of very mature trees which have taken the light from our garden for years.)
Dave, inspired by the work already done, continued the clearing in our garden putting some old poultry houses onto the fire and removing the 'small' duck pond.
The effect when I returned after lunch was amazing. The lower branches of an enormous oak tree which had reached right across our whole garden, had been removed (I had not thought this possible) letting in so much light plus the other clearing means we have a lovely exercise area for the dogs, without doing anything else to it.
I have often felt our garden is a huge unused resource (since we stopped keeping poultry) but the way this has all come about in the space of a day is, as far as I am concerned, nothing short of a miracle.
Little Smudge has really settled down. Although she still has her moments she is a different dog to the crazy little thing that arrived on Friday night.
It is wonderful to watch Lexus playing with her (definitely softer than you think)
I feel we have come through the latest crises and the house is calm again.
I plan to walk the route for the Stafford Walk tomorrow
