Friends with Dogs

David blipped the cute puppies, so I got the brave mother, grandmother and great grandmother! In total there are 13 dogs in the house!!!
It’s alright, they are quite well behaved and we are sleeping in The Duke in their drive.
Mark and Rosie are our friends from way back - from 33 years ago! Their 4 boys and our 3 used play together often when we all lived in Cobham.
The weather was so warm and sunny that we sat outside for a long session of catching up on all the family and friends news. We ordered a delicious Indian Takeaway and just carried on chatting till I got too tired!

Going back to this morning, when we left Salisbury, we picked up a bottle of milk and some Old Winchester cheese from local grass-fed cows at a vending machine in a car park!
Just outside Stockbridge on the way to Winchester, we stopped for coffee at a roadside place called Thyme and Tides. It turned out to be quite a find! Nice coffee and cake. And we stocked up our fridge and pantry with cooking sauces and meats and all local and Grassfed and even Kefir! Well worth knowing about that place for future reference.
