Prior to Maisy (our beloved but batty basset hound), we had Molly – our first basset hound, the basset that set the boundaries, the basset that put us in our place and truly introduced us to the breed; the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright bizarre! Second time around, therefore, we were fairly sure that nothing would surprise us, the basset hound is a creature like no other and we were fully expecting Maisy to be just like Molly in the levels of mayhem and madness only she isn’t… shes a whole different kettle of fish – or …
Twelve years ago today, the hubby and I tied the knot… it doesn’t feel like twelve years have passed since we exchanged vows, though we’ve done so much since then it beggars belief!

Apologies in advance if you’re growing bored of the never-ending pool pictures, it’s not often that we get the chance here in the UK to spend time in the pool. It’s not that we are averse to water, we are quite used to getting wet but it’s usually with rainwater rather than pool water if you catch my drift… British summers are much like playing the lottery – you’re never quite sure whether it’s worth setting up a barbeque or whether it’d be easier to grill indoors.
