Brass Monkeys

On the beach at Bridlington in East Yorkshire. Cold, windy and worst of all... no tea!

Totem Pole

Sue and I took the dogs to Virginia Water in Surrey, it was Beaker's first look and a real lake.
I got some video and photos of the Totem Pole. It's been there since 1952 and looks like it could do with a lick of paint.
I wonder if it will be spruced up for the Queen's Diamond jubilee in 2012?

I'm a human chew toy!

My YouTube channel

Beware puppies have sharp teeth and don't want to be on YouTube!

This is our house...

First game of the season at The Hive... Bees versus the Jets... Game Two of the Berkshire Cycles Challenge.
The Bees were victorious by a five goal aggregate. Match report HERE

Coffee beans & the jelly bean queen...

Afternoon coffee in Windsor.

We're gonna need a bigger garden...

We are now into the puppy biting stage, my goodness his teeth are sharp... house training is almost cracked though.

Puppy Prison...

Beaker is sent to Puppy Prison for a period of calming down. He was charged with unauthorised jumping on the sofa, persistent big toe biting and general over excitement.

He was eventually let off with a warning :-)

Did we buy a baby Polar Bear?

Beaker has settled into his new home very nicely... but did we buy a pup or a cub?

Resistance is futile...

This video was shot down in Taunton on the day we collected Beaker and whisked him away to his new life... He wriggled a bit when his new collar was fitted... but resistance was futile!

The Beakster...

Meet Beaker (again)... All eight pups were up and about when we visited... they particularly enjoyed pulling my shoe laces out of my shoes!
Two weeks to go until Beaker comes to his new home.

A303... B&B

I booked this lovely B&B for our overnight stop in Somerset... it was our second time going down to meet Beaker our new puppy.

Heather and Barry have made a lovely place to stay... great location, friendly welcome, nice room and a tasty full English in the morning.

Take a look at them here

They are also on Trip Advisor

Mad Dogs and Englishmen...

This is short video I shot at Ascot Racecourse while taking Toby for a walk. It is essentially a series of short clips that I took using my iPhone 4 and an app called iSupr8.
I was trying to get an old cine film effect.

Introducing... BEAKER!

Meet our new friend... Beaker.

He is two weeks old and very frisky!
