The French Holiday Part 1

Hello! I'm back.
Today I haves a very excitings post fur you - my French Holiday!!!
It was such fun and the sun was shinings almost every day! It was also a wonderfuls (but scary) new experience fur me and Bunnie because we hads never been abroad until this point! We gots back last Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock - Me and Bunnie were SO tired and haves been sleeping a lot! Its been a long trip.
So here we go...........

We set off on Monday evening 6th July in our Hoomans big van with lots and lots of bags, bikes and bedding in the backs! Then we drove fur a long, longs time until we gots to a big car park near the channel tunnel crossing on the cost. We slept in the big van that night and woke ats the crack of dawn (a bits early fur me; I needs my beauty sleeps) and gots on to the massive train that took us to France!!

We gots off the train in Calais, France, then drove fur a little while until we gots to a lovely service station where we stopped fur walkies and breakfast!

It was very pretty and wild!

Me and Bunnie ran around and tooks in all da new smells......the smell of France!

Then it was back in da van and onwards.....

We drove many, many overs; past fields, towns, farms and ruins. It all starteds out good (except my Hoomans were very tired havings slept terribly the night befores), then as the day went on, it gradually gots hotter and hotter until the heat made me and Bunnie pant fur our lives and our Hoomans were drippings with swet. It was rather hellish fur a while, buts slowly, it cooled down towards the evening and we arrived at the holiday house (afters an exhausting search down country lanes) more or less in tact! You cans imagine we slept well!

The next morning we gots up late and lounged arounds fur a while, then me and Bunnie explored the house and gardens!

Pretty, isn't it?!

There were four bedrooms, a big kitchen, lovely gardens and a swimming pool!

Now, Bunnie wasn't too sure abouts the swimming pool (havings never ecountered one before) and I tolds her that it was very scary, since I DON'T like waters buts you'll see how we both conquered our fears later!

Later on in the day we wents to a huge supermarche (as they calls them in France) and boughts lots of bread and cheese and fruits.....YUM! In the evening our Hoomans gots their culinary act togethers and cooked Ratatouille around the outdoor fire in the garden - we didn'ts gets any though! :(

The next day my Hoomans sunned themselves by the pool in the morning and splashed around while me and Bunnie did checks around the place. Everything was goings really well when suddenly - me and Bunnie were scouped up and........

We were in the cool pool with our Hoomans! It was scary alright! Bunnie was tremblings and crawling up as far away from da water as possible. It was nice to cool off though.

In the evening we all trotted off to the nearest town, Brantome to look around!

It was BEAUTIFUL.......

We went down this alleyway filled with cafes and shops.....

Look at all that FOOD!

 We bought some ice cream!!!

That looks GOOD!

And our wishes were made true - we gots to finish them off!

What a treat! We both couldn't believe it!!!

We found a kitty outside a dress shop just chilling outs in the shade....

We saw a lovely exhibition.....

We explored the caves.....

Me and Bunnie peered overs the edge of da bridge to smell the odours of food comings across from the restuarant.....

That smells heavenly!

Then we wents home fur dinner and bed.

Nighty night.

Hope you enjoyed this.......our French Holiday will be continued soon!

Shower Horror

My dear Furiends

I am sures you has been through many vexing and frightening experiences, buts I know thats you all will agree thats one of the most vexing things of all is TO LOOSE ONES SMELL!!!!
How embarrassing is dat?! Ones smell is ones identity and clothing! Hoomans seem to think its normal to strip a doggie of its smell! I've tried to explain dis to my sis, Bunnie, buts she just can'ts get her little pooch head round it - I can't either.


It was just today that this most vexings action was carried outs on us!

We call it SHOWER HORROR!

Bunnie was furst (poor thing).....

I do not really like this! Please stop.

She found it most distressing, and starteds to tremble as her smell began to faid and wash off!

Just look how her little face is so disgruntleds!


I watched from afar with much sympathy; I was completely ablivious to what was in store for me next.

But furst, a little shake......

And a dry in da shade.

I was just going inside when one of my Hoomans approached me and SUDDENLY........

A strong spray of water dids shower down on me and wash away my SMELL! Bunnie dids looks so very pleased with herself thats I was receiving the same treatment of SHOWER HORROR!

!!!

How vexing is dis.......

Buts luckily, it dids not last too long and soon we were boltings around the garden, shakings and rollings in da grass!

It takes much work to get ones smell back.......


We hope you're well (not loosing your smell or anything) and enjoyings June.
See you soon.

Wordless Wednesday - Shadows & Flowers

Oh Sun, Glorious Sun!

Hellooooo!
I'm back! So sorry to haves been away and aloof all this time buts, you know whats these Hoomans can be likes; distracteds by lots of 'important' things when really they shoulds be helpings their doggie to do their bloggy! Anyway, while we were away from Blogville, since the sunshine is just startings to show its face, I've been teachings Bunnie how to sunbathe in style!
As you all know, I love the sun and lie outs in our Mummy's garden all day if I gets the chance (a girl must sun herself to keeps looking good). So I thought it was high time little sis, Bunnie had a go!

We starteds off sunbathings on the warm pattio......

Bunnie watched the bugs and butterflies (and the camera) with bewilderment......

Most interestings, I must say

I recieved the scents and messages being carried by the wind.........
We're such lucky doggies to haves such a sublime garden to sunbathe in! Our Mummy is a very keen gardener (though I'm too chic for it myself) and it just so happens that her passion is so strong, its contageous and has rubbed off on Bunnie who has become quite the gardener! She follows Mummy around while she's gardening and helps her pull up weeds (though sometimes she gets confused and pulls up the wrong ones) and she loves to smell the flowers.

Then it was times to hand it overs to Bunnie to gives you a tour of Mummy's garden.
Hello everyone, Bunnie here. Lets get started with the tour!

First up: a white Lylic flower. These are so pretty and smell lovely.....

Second: Purple Iris.....

Thirdly: Mummy's herb patch, including Mint, Goosberries, Rhubarb and the little blue shed in the background......

Then Mummy's favourite of all......

Her roses....

Then last but not least, my favourite thing......

This fairytale bench  I like to sit under with my toys!






We hope you've enjoyed the little tour of our garden! We'll be back soon.
