Happy New Year!

Right!  I have approximately 15 minutes to write a December post, a December 2017 post indeed.  
So - a few photos of recent walks with the Benji Dog, mostly on Caradon Hill, Bodmin Moor.  

Uh-oh!  I great big rain cloud has appeared overhead . . 


 Watch out for random collapsed mine shafts - there's one right behind this rock.

 Housman's Engine House




 The setting sun illuminating St. George's Island.

 Benji, freshly shampoo'ed and blow-dried after getting filthy on the Moor!



































Made it!  Just!  That's it for 2017 - have a brilliant 2018.

    Thank you, Sandra - he has lots more energy now and is always ready for his walk and the chance to run free.

    Benji looks so good these days! I can't remember a recent update on his weight loss - spill the beans! Happy New Year to you both.

      Happy New Year to you, Mary! Benji's weight loss is slowing now, but he's presently 12.2 Kg. Could be described as merely 'stocky' rather than the obese little feller he was when he came to me last April. I'm thinking he should be around the 9Kg. mark, although I'm sure he wouldn't agree.

      Stocky or not he looks good and a credit to himself and you.

    I wish my Rick would let me shampoo and blow dry him. Benjo looks lovely.

      Ooohh lovely! Which part of Cornwall will you be visiting? I just pray we shall have better weather this year - we had more than our fair share of rain in 2017 methinks!

      We will be based near Mevagissey but we travel all over by car or the train from St Austell. We love it!

    Happy New Year, good to see yoou and Benji again🙂

    You are braver than me near collapsed shafts - are they completely blocked up? I’d be terrified of Daisy falling in one - she would definitely be on a long lead

      Some of the really deep ones are fenced off, but mine shafts can collapse at any time. They gradually fill in with shrubs, turf, even trees which makes them safer, but occasionally a dog has to be rescued after falling down one, usually when chasing a rabbit.
