New friend

A new friend for Archie came this morning, though it was such a dreich day, a walk was not taken, but he's arranged to come on Friday. He's a retired chap who lives nearby, and he was down south to visit his friend, who 'borrows a doggy' and Robert thought this was a good idea. Which it is. 

JR took Archie out in the wind and rain in the afternoon, and abandoned the walk in favour of a coffee when she got near the Black Ivy.

Here he is, waiting patiently for his walk, which did come, though it was briefer than he would have liked.
