Just been for a swim in the pool. Me and the
ghosts of the recently departed family..... with Dobby acting as life-guard peering
out at me disapprovingly through the fronds of the pampas grass on the edge of
the pool but for all the world looking like a lion cub waiting to pounce on an
unsuspecting sibling.
Dobby
hates the water; after having twice fallen in during the winter he was very small,
he made sure it didn’t happen a third
time. I dare say he wouldn’t make a very
good life-guard.
Both
Layla and Dobby love the garden; love
rolling around on the grass and chasing each other around the flower beds
although Layla gives up the chase more quickly these days.
We are making the most of the garden which is
ours only for another fortnight until the next paying visitors arrive.
