It’s this time of year when the darker mornings really become apparent. We’re probably used to it now, however the majority of our morning walk now happens in the dark and I think when the moon goes from the morning…
Wilbur gave us a scare a few weeks ago when he appeared to be losing strength in his legs. We took him to the vet who wondered if he had slipped and sort of splayed his legs, pulling muscles. So…

I found this photo of Ian and Basil when I was looking for something. No wonder the little old ladies used to cross themselves when they first saw Basil! This reminded me of how he would squeeze into the most…
