October 1st
Doesn't time fly! A lot has happened since my last post. Tim's dad sadly died. We have been to Barcelona, I ended up in hospital there for 9 days -should have been a four day visit. We had a fab trip to South Africa in July . The Drakensberg mountains, a ride in a gam park through a herd of giraffe. A bit like being in a Disney movie! A bit of history, the battle sites of. Colenso and Spioenkop. The Nelson Mandela capture site and memorial sculpture. I will try and post pictures of it.
The whippets are well. Lulu is still pottering along despite the vet saying 18 months ago she could just drop dead because of her heart!
Homer hasn't been too well, he was in the vet for 6 days with serious vomiting. He is now a bit better and supposed to be having work done on his teeth next week. They tried last week but his blood tests showed his liver wasn't up to a general anaesthetic. Poor thing ended up tripping a bit on his premed and had to go back in the evening and stay at the vet overnight on a drip.......

Horlicks and Mylo very comfy  on the spare bed at Donaghadee! Don't worry anyone who used the duvet I am sure they don't have fleas!
