Journey: Bremen We slept in until 7:45! This never happens and it was so nice 🙂 We all took the pups for a walk, Ernest was naughty and tried to steal Florie’s teddy, Mabel rolled in poo and Jasper got filthy in the river – a hat trick 🙈 What the doggies hadn’t realised was that mummy had brought …

Day 32 – Four high animal acro
Journey: Barme – Bremen – Syke After an amazing night listening to the wolves we took the pups for a forest walk. The white wolves spotted the pups walking past and followed the parameter of their enclosure…the pups were oblivious, but I’m imagining the wolves salivating at the thought of sausage, small cow and whatever …
Day 31 – you’d never guess Mabel was related
Journey: Winschoten – Barme (Germany) We took the pups into town for a potter and the obligatory pastry pick up then drove on to Barme in Germany to the wolf centre. Mark has been really excited for this as he loves wolves! I had to laugh at myself when my first thought on seeing one …

Day 30 – Come rain or shine
Journey: Giethoorn – Groningen – Winschoten We were up and organised this morning – keen to see Giethoorn before the rain came. We hired bikes and cycled about the gorgeous thatched houses and canals… Not thinking to stop and take a photo of the lovely town 🙈Dutch bikes are hard work – heavy, cumbersome things that …

Journey: Arnhem – Zwolle – Kampen – Giethoorn The mind was willing but the body tired, fortunately Rosie needed to be at the train station for 7am so it forced us to get up and organised, though we still enjoyed a slow start to the day with Ben bringing us second breakfast in the form …

Day 26 – Keeping up traditions
Journey – Arnham (Dutch Acro Convention) Our new sleeping set up works so well, we actually slept in until gone 8am! The pups loved sleeping on the sofa bed with us, and although I had to carry Jasper and Ernest off Heikes bed they didn’t pester her again until morning. We are getting plenty of …
Day 25 – Acro Festival!
So today has been excitedly waiting for the acro festival to start. In preparation we went to the laundrette so the van didn’t smell too doggy for Heike Schroeder. I stupidly forgot my phone so we were thrown back into the olden days of struggling to make plans and meet up to get lift home – …
Day 24 – Picked up a stray…
Journey: Utrecht – Amersfoort – Arnhem This morning we woke up to the carnage of last night’s mega storm. Part of the farm roof was off and being fixed, and both the road and paths were blocked by fallen willow trees. It was a big clean up operation. Poor Ernest had got scared in the …
Day 23 – Lovely lazy day
Journey – Utrecht After an amazing thunderstorm last night it was still raining and we had a lovely slow start to the day. I have fallen in love with reading again and am almost finished my 4th book, thank you so much for the recommendations I’ve loved them all (John dies at the end – …
