You know that health kick I started…well today it got triumphantly sidelined 🤣 We hunted down some of the best food Zagreb has to offer and combined it with two wonderful museums. As a side note, last night I managed to convince myself to go for a run. I’ve had a bad relationship with exercise …

169 – Long drives, beautiful lakes and the lure of Croatia
From the comfort of my bed I could look straight through the sunroof to a cracking view of the TV tower. At only 5 degrees I was tempted to stay snuggled up in bed and I doubt the pups would have minded. However Markles is a restless soul and doesn’t believe in duvet days, so …

163 – It’s all about the dogs
They say you should do the worst things first and today I had to buckle down and do something I was dreading. As a dog groomer I have a minimum quarterly agreement with my pups that they have a bath (Mabel rolls in poo so has far more). Last time I tried to bath Ernest …
158 – A rustic thermal spa
Almost 6 months into our trip and I’m still making daft mistakes. I had planned to climb Krivan mountain this morning. Peeked out the window at 6am and it was still dark and didn’t want to wake anyone so waited, but was conscious it was a 4hr hike, so thought I’d double check the route…its …
154 – Autumnal Mountains, Castles and Geysers
Autumn has most definitely arrived, and how beautiful it is! This morning we drove into Slovakia towards stunning mountain ranges and had a lovely long walk in the Upper Tatras at Tatranska Lomnicka. As I was happily kicking my way through the leaves, I realised this is Ernests first Autumn. No wonder he is snuffling …

151 – Favourites revisited
Late last night we had parked by the large Jordana park on the edge of the city so that this morning we were all set for a Sunday morning stroll. Armed with masses of treats I wanted to try some off lead recall training as there are so few places where they are allowed to …
150 – Happy Mabel day!
Today we got the news we had been waiting for. Mabels autopsy results came back negative and her lumps are benign. This called for an extra long walk, excess cuddles and a smelly pig trotter as celebration (yep I’m vegan and still feed my pups the most disgusting treats because they go crazy for them). …
145 – There be dragons!
So under some strange logic, despite struggling to wake at 6:30am and get organised, I’ve read articles that say to be most productive you should wake at 5am as you get the quietest part of the day to yourself, and with less distractions it’s easier to focus and get things done. So that’s what I …
144 – Inertia and Inspiration
Very occasionally I get caught out by a bout of complete inertia. This morning was one of those times. I couldn’t motivate myself to do anything other than eat and cuddle the dogs. This led to a strange realisation, as my mindful eating course hit home and I was conscious I was enjoying the taste …
142 – Where does the time go?
My alarm went off at 6:10 and zombie Maria turned it off and fell instantly back asleep. Mark had had a rough night with the pups stealing bed and demanding late night walks for runny tummies. I’m a terrible parent and sleep through barks…totally oblivious (it’s my terrible superpower… and deeply frustrating for Mark). And …
