Mortimer's perfect day

It started off with his morning walk when the co-owner found a football in one of the ditches. It was slightly deflated so Mortimer could carry it but had enough air to be kicked about.

Chewy

Thursday was turning into such a beautiful day that we decided to abandon the office for the afternoon and take Mortimer to the beach at Old Hunstanton. It's easier to show just how excited he was with these photographs.

Dog on the horizon

Just love this

Can I go back in please?

Wheeeeee!

What do you mean - I need a brush?

So not a bad day for a pooch. But it just got that bit better. We called into the Walsingham farm shop at Norfolk Lavender on the way home as they have a really good selection of local cheeses. And look what was outside.

Doggy heaven

Seaside treat

My parents, who stayed with us over Christmas, decided it would be a good idea to visit the beach to blow the cobwebs away. It only takes 45 minutes to the nearest seaside town but, worried about the availability of refreshments on Boxing Day, they packed a flask, sandwiches and a few mince pies. 

Now Mortimer, who spent his first few months with us living on the coast, gets ecstatic when he sees the sea, even if it is freezing.

It's the sea - let me at it

Promise I won't run off

He is so gullible.....

Now as you might have gathered from the photographs it was very cold with a north westerly wind blowing, so sandwiches on the beach were out. But for Mortimer the alternative, picnic in the car, was a new and very pleasurable experience.

I'm sure that ham sandwich could get a bit nearer

He can't wait to do that again.
