BOB at 6 months old

This is my beautiful Beddlington terrier Bob at six months old in the Bluebells

Bob

I decided that I missed not having a dog in the house I missed the walks and the welcome homes
we finally found our new addition the the family in Helston he's a Beddlington x feels like he's been here forever so without further ado meet Bob

All Beddlingtons are born black  but as he grows up he will become grey so don't worry as I post updates of Bob's adventures if he's change colour its still him.

Happy New Year

The start to this New Year was odd to say the least, for the first time for as long as I can remember We didn't go out Martin was ill, full of a cold, and that along with just aquiring Bob our new puppy we decided to say in.
I was in bed before midnight and woke up to rain.

Alfred

It is with great sadness I had to say goodbye to my dog Alfred today, he was a troubled soul but has been a big part of our family 
such a sad day will be missed xx

I couldn't bring myself to look at photo's of him at the time too upset but felt I needed to but that right now.

New job

I've been happy in my job but recently a job came up in the charity shop where I used to volunteer
the role was for Assistant manager and I applied and was delighted to be offered the role last Friday.

It's always a tough one handing in your notice especially when you like your work collegues, but that done now and in a month I start my new job

Looe fun run

28th July and its the Looe fun run, I decided sometime ago that this year I was going to enter I have been jogging in the morning with the dog (kills two birds with one stone) for several weeks now and felt I could manage it so I entered.
The course is just under 5  miles but through the woods there are several steep bits, I completed but I was knackered, but over the moon at the same time.
Will carry on with the running I think I have caught the bug now

Paloma Faith at the Eden project

Me and my husband had a fantastic day at the Eden project taking the afternoon off work we had a lovely picnic lounged around during the afternoon and in the evening watched Paloma Faith, which we had bought tickets for weeks earlier.

We had a great night nice to spend some time together without the boys.

 Such a funny lady, not to mention a fantastic singer.

Looe academy school prom 2015

Well how time fly's my oldest son Camden has now left school, and Friday was his school prom at Hanafore point.

 It doesn't seem two minutes since they were babies

Missing you

My mother in law died last week and my Husband and youngest son have traveled back up North for the funeral, i sadly have had to stayed behind here in Cornwall as my oldest is taking his G C S E's. I miss them both already and feel sad that I can't be there with them on this sad occasion. 

Goodbye Grandma

We got an unexpected call on Sunday to say that my husbands mum, my boys grandma had sadly passed away.  We no longer live in the Northwest of England now as we moved to Cornwall 3 years ago.
We of course are all very upset, my husband and youngest son will be travelling up North next week for the funeral, unfortunately the funeral has fallen in the middle of my eldest sons exams so we will be staying here, it was a difficult decision but we feel it is the right one and one that I feel she would have understood.
