up a gear!
A day out, in readiness for our three day holiday in Wales in August.
We went to
Westonbury Water Gardens a magical garden just a 45 minute drive away from home.
The journey didn’t faze her, the dribbles were under control and on arrival she sat contentedly as we had a coffee before we walked sedately around the gardens all carefully keeping the regulation 2 metres apart.
We had a lovely lunch sat outside in the sun, she happily sat under our table like the seasoned explorer of new climes Ellie obviously thought she was!
A little light reading and meditation and we were ready to go for Ellie’s part of the trip. Let off the lead on Bircher Common it was her turn to open up the gas and go! Which she obviously did, all the while like a good Sky Tours rep, doubling back to check we were still with her.
‘Keep up you oldies!’
A super day of fresh air, new places and fun for all.
Is it any wonder we all came home happy, content and tired?

Aren't English gardens beyond compare. Really magnificent. That is a great 'human/dog communication photo.
ReplyDeleteI hate having my photograph taken, with Ellie to steal the show I don’t mind nearly so much.
DeleteThat garden I love so much as it is full of the most wonderful water features and eccentricity by the bucketload.

A highly successful day!
ReplyDeleteYup... Wales here we come.

A wonderfully encouraging report, Ellie.
ReplyDeleteWe have had her just short of a year now and what progress she has made.
DeleteShe would say the same of us I’m sure!

You have done a wonderful job with Ellie....turned her from a nervous wreck into a happy well adjusted dog!
ReplyDeleteStill work in progress though Frances, as the adverts say... ‘You’re worth it!’ and she most definitely is.
