Another Summer Holiday Trip Planned.

Off I go again with details of my holiday to record for posterity, another place to keep a record of our trips, another place to see how faces have changed over the years.  Martin has headed off to work, Sarah is still asleep and our visitor, Bobbie is asleep too.  Heard that saying.....let sleeping dogs lie.  

Well we have another few days before we set off for our adventure in "The Big Apple", followed by a trip to the "Sunshine State".  Bags are not packed yet but let us just say that clothes are stacked in piles ready to make their way into the suitcases which are lined up on standby. Toiletries have been purchased and sun cream stowed. I should even say some planning has been done for the return to school.  One member of the New York trip has not yet returned from his journey around Europe, he will returning tonight with a request for me to meet him at the airport with a sausage roll and a box of salt and vinegar pringles - don't you just love 'em?  He has visited Naples, Pompeii, Rome, Florence, Vienna, Venice, Budapest and a host of other places.  His room has remained clean and tidy for the past few weeks - amazing!  Just enough time for him to come home and untidy it, have his clothes washed, sleep and repack before we are off.

Sarah in the meantime has been dog walking, pet sitting, cow herding etc - all the things that you do if you are Sarah.  I have been going on a trip with her now and again when it comes to walking Jack and Lucy with any visiting dogs.  Florence was the biggest challenge as she was a Burmese mountain dog and was quite a big young lady although she could be referred to as a gentle giant who had a love of muddy water along with Lucy the lab.
