Sizzling Summer


It’s been a while since our last post, main because its more tricky getting photos from my camera to the computer (both new). However, in the last few months, things have been heating up - like most of Europe with record temperatures both home and abroad. We have just returned from 2 weeks in Cortona staying at a wonderful place where there was a good mix of families, pool and surrounding beauty. We braved the heat and went to Siena, Assisi and Montechino. All wonderful.

Bailey and Jules did great with the two day car journey, stopping in Switzerland on the way out and France on the way back. We have decided, however, no pooch on next summer trip - it was just too hot to be interesting for her and sneaking in swims in the pool was not ideal. When we returned to Holland, it was no less warm but for once I welcomed the North Sea wind.

Its 3o de

grees still at 7 pm at night so down to the river for a swim tonight I think! Talking of swimming here are some wonderful pictures from the pooch reunion earlier in June. We had an amazing time with 6 pups all going crazy.

One more week of work and then a week in the UK. Looking forward to that too but know we will need a rest afterwards ;-)
