Sticks, balls, boxing and rest

Well a wee mixture of the Cockapoos from action to resting. Great company and they know how to brighten up the day. They are good with each other as well.

Could she not find a bigger stick!

Okay how do I get this through the door?

This looks a bit vicious but hey it's just dogs at play.

Just jump don't go around her Bailey.

And sleep!

You can have his jacket so long as I can cuddle in.

Back seat of car we are comfy so turn the music down please.

Danger! Dogs at play

The fun double act enjoy time on the beach and in the field. Unsure where they get their energy but it's great to watch.

Meet the Cockapoo's

These 2 cracking girls have been a very welcome addition to the home over the last few months.

Both Cockapoo's with one being 7 months and the other 4 months. Bella takes very much after the Cocker Spaniel look with Bailey taking more of the poodle look.

Has been great to watch them develop and how they learn off each other.

They are nice and lively and keep each other and us well entertained. They do have their odd few moments and it's funny to watch them taunt each other to chase or with each other's toys so they can wrestle them off each other.

Butterfly farm at Dobies

Had the fortune to win passes for the butterfly and insect world at Dobbies just outside Edinburgh last year. The family loved it as did I. 

Pictures taken with phone camera on the day. 

Enjoyed getting hands on with the snakes and spiders with a really good input from the day. 

Rush hour in Ireland

Love this place and it's rural ways. Between cattle, sheep and the donkeys or 'ass' as they are know it's fantastic.

On the way back from the fishing at Ballyglass Pier we bumped into this family. The leader of the pack looking back as if to say can you hurry up and you should be checking for cars before you cross.

This fine ass was enjoying the sun.

Wild Atlantic Way - Mullet Peninsula Ireland

Well the Wild Atlantic Way is outstanding and some time spent on the Mullet Peninsula which I tend to visit at least once a year did not let us down last year again.  Also know as the Barony or Erris it is located in County Mayo.

The scenery is outstanding as can be seen in the photos.

There are some great beaches on the peninsula and the Atlantic certainly provides some outstanding waves. The pictures show the views out towards Black rock. This area sadly seen the crew of a rescue helicopter 'rescue 118' lost at sea.

Everyone we happen to stumble into in this are are so friendly with the pace of life being unhurried. I have and will continue to advise anyone to visit this lovely part of Ireland.

There are plenty of great places to eat as well from hotels to pubs. Also in this area is a cracking golf course at Carne.

North Berwick Law

Had the enjoyment of climbing the hill on a lovely, but frosty afternoon on the 2nd of January 2019. A nice path up the hill and tremendous views of the East Lothian countryside along with the Firth of Forth on a relatively clear day..

Great family company on the walk helped as well.

North Berwick harbour sits nicely by Craigleith.

One of the harbour taken from the west beach below the putting green.

The infamous Bass Rock sits in the distance from the top of North Berwick Law.

North Berwick Law stands at 187m above sea level and is worth the walk. Its amazing what else you can bump into whilst up there. Fortunately mobile phone in hand to allo some quick pictures. There were also a small herd of deer on the hill as well.
