Ben watching The Tartan Parade


Ben is sending lots of love and a picnic to share with Sadie
because Aunt Sarah @ Hyacinths For The Soul
 is hosting The Tartan Parade!

We're also visiting with the Tablescaper for Seasonal Sundays,
after all it's not every day a chap gets to wear plaid!
And..........
since the letter T is centre stage at Mrs Matlock's Aphabe-Thursday this week
we're joining the party there too.

Poor Old Mr Ben!

My little dog - a hearbeat at my feet.
Edith Wharton.


Our sweet little cocker spaniel Ben has been under the weather recently.
A quick trip to the vet's last week resulted in
a 15 day course of antibiotics, for a undiagnosed infection of all four paws,
and a disinfectant foot wash for every other day;
 a five day course of medicine for an ear infection
(which made him ill between 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock every night for 5 nights!),
 sterilizing ear wash and ear drops;
plus his annual vaccination against rabies.
We also had his eyes tested and picked up another bottle of eye drops
to replace the tears his poor old eyes have ceased to produce.
Quite an expensive visit but he's so worth it!

As you can imagine with all of the above to deal with
 plus those 5 nights without much sleep
there hasn't been too much time left over for blogging.
So, I thought I'd let you know
 that my very good friend Sarah @ Hyacinths For The Soul
has written, today, about her visit to us here in Normandy.
Maybe you'd like to pop in and see us all there?
And
My November Book Reviews are on my other blog
just books
if you're looking for something to read during the holiday season.

I was So Spoilt for choice this week when considering which Stunning Shots to Showcase in my Alphabe-Thursday "S" post.
So, I created two mosaics of photographs taken by the talented Mr B during our recent visit to the (Sh)Château des Ravalet.

Above: Scrollwork; Swag; Sunken grotto and Succulent plants Surrounding a Sign.

Below: Stone fireplace; Shadows; Shabby (Sh)Chic garden furniture for Sale; carved Stone window decoration & Still life Surround a Swan Swimming.
