True Colours Thursday - CREAM!

I'm still away from home helping friends redecorate, unpack & garden!

Naturally two of the first items to find a place in their new home was this light CREAM mounted portrait of marvelous Miss Molly, my Airedale 'niece'...And this fun coaster...A brief shopping trip to the local market town provided me with a CREAM house...Plus this impressive clock tower which was presented to the town in 1878 by local draper, grocer & clothier James Scott; it was renovated in 2004...And the the country style kitchen gained these useful items from the shops...

While the verges by the local dykes are full of CREAM blossom...

As are a neighbours hedge rows...

The closest to actual CREAM I have to offer is on this cake from that shop...

True Colours Thursday - COFFEE!

This weeks colour sounded easy when I listed it but I confess to having struggled re posting, could find nothing new!

Okay, I drink COFFEE - like the real article made from good quality ground beans, no instant granules in my house.

I also enjoy that occasional Cappuccino when out in town - very bad image from early photo archives...

But defining COFFEE as a colour is difficult, as we all see/take this beverage differently!

Is garden ornament Peter Rabbit a Latte' shade...

Are these odd Art figurines a Black/Dark cuppa ...

What about Irish Terrier Shamus - is he a Milky Espresso & what about the WFT's prick ears being a really White COFFEE...At the least the Celebration Cake Shop's cake is definitely all shades of COFFEE - just wonder if the cake underneath the icing is a COFFEE flavoured sponge - it certainly should be...

I'm returning to Brighton today, so my visit's will be late!

Saturday Photo Hunt - Black!

Host tnchick has got on the colour trail this week!

And, I think this young man in his black t-shirt fits the bill...

The pup is black & tan too - it's Welsh Terrier Jody, a WELTAF friend.

Both were attending last weekends Fox Terrier Fun Walk in Brighton.

Wordless Wednesday - "No way, are we talking..."!

Camera Critters Sunday - Terriers Galore!

Yesterday dawned bright & sunny in Brighton for the 3rd Fox Terrier Fun Walk to promote Fox Terrier Rescue and as the day wore on it got brighter & sunnier and warmer - I'm sure all human participants today have a rosy glow, I for one certainly have.

Everyone was to meet @ the Marina complex, I waited anxiously for my favourite WFT Jackson to put in an appearance after his recent strokes, and bless him, he did - seen here in the arms of his J1 - he's noticeably frailer but still happy to be out & about...

As the terriers arrived the usual doggy greetings ensued...For my sins I was again 'official' photographer, for the Forever - Fox Terrier Facebook web page which meant taking individual shots of every doggy family as well as attempting a group photo before the walk commenced - I had my work cut out as the turn out was good but what fun work!

At my count, 17 Wire Fox Terriers attended - a small selection of images, more will go on FB when it lets me download them - sadly names elude me re the first two charactors....

Finn & family from Norwich, who I encountered again this morning...

Jackson & his camera shy J's...Friends Sally & Paddy with their D & C...One very lively Smooth-haired Fox Terrier, a first of the breed to attend...Four Welsh Terriers - Dooley & Jody, WELTAF friends & 20 month old newcomer Ted [Edwin missed this photo call]... But I caught him later...Three Irish Terriers - Bramble on the left then Jackson's best friends Shamus & Molly...And one Airedale - Lulu here with her newly adopted brother Douglas, who last walk was being fostered by Sally & Paddy...All recieved doggy bags containing Mint & Carob flavoured treats from Dog Dogs Bakery... With so many pups & their entourages, a full terrier group image defeated me...Then Sally & Paddy's D directed us to start the Undercliff walk ...

Jackson lead the way...

Followed by his security team Molly & Shamus...

And the rest of us followed...A beach stop was made for refreshments - tender toed Sally who hates pebbles, was carried down ...

And partically blind sweet Paddy, affectionately known as 'the Little Man' & the 'Duracell Bunny' because he keeps on going and going then stops dead, & who like Jackson has many health issues was hand feed by his doting daddy...

I believe everyone had a great day, I certainly did surrounded by fun terriers under blue, blue skies!

Camera Critters Sunday - Remembering Pepper!

Glad to report that hopefully, my Internet connection problems are a thing of the past, as late yesterday afternoon a hunky young Virgin technician spent 30 minutes servicing/tweaking my cable link & modem back into life!
Will try to catch up with what everyone has been doing whilst I was missing action during today.

In the morning, I walked into Town, & passing by the coffee house Cafe' Loco, I thought recognised the pup tethered close by & went over...

A couple of years ago I encountered Pointer Pippa with her bother Pepper @ exactly the same spot...

Seeing me admiring her, her owners came out of the cafe' & I remarked about seeing two of them before.

Tears welled up in the ladies eyes.

Pepper crossed to the 'Rainbow Bridge' recently after being hit by a car, having uncharacteristically jumped his garden fence & raced across the road in pursuit of some unknown prey!

I felt terrible about bringing back such an painful memories, but his family ashored me it was nice that I recalled him.

We exchanged email addresses so I could send them this fun photo of Pepper howling his displeasure @ being left...

Run free pup with all our other lost ones!

Wordless Wednesday - Puppy Jig-Saw Puzzle Crazy!

Camera Critters Sunday - St. Guiness the Perfect!

With tomorrow being St David's Day - Wales patron saint, I have to feature a Welsh Terrier.
And what's better than one cleverly dressed as a fiery Welsh Dragon...The classic stance is due to a 'Show Command' word, wonderfully "Sausages" - it's always made me LOL!
And, no it's not 'nephew' Taffy, as much as an attention seeking showman as he is.
But, a likable Welshie Miss meet via WELTAF [Welsh Terriers and Friends] gatherings in '08.

This is the real face of Guinness with the her amusingly deep husky sexy bark/voice...

And, she is a prize winning 'Show Girl' - I've even had the pleasure of seeing her in action.

In late September '08, as part of WELTAF's Barmouth Weekend activities, the group made a memorable first appearance @ the long established Arthog village Dog Show - a Kennel Club recognised event that annually raises money for the Welsh Air Ambulance Service.

They, with K.C.'s permission, created in view of WELTAF's presence, three new show categories - 'Welsh Terrier Juniors', 'WT Open' & 'Best Welsh Terrier in Show'.

St. Guinness the Perfect, was of course up for the challenge - well, after a little last minute stripping by her registered breeder & caring owner Ellaitchbee...She won 'Best Welsh Terrier in Show' and was 'Reserve Champion' of the whole Show...

What a clever girl.

Late insider information though, says she's naughty & wilful and all to frequently in the compost heap!!!

Sorry Guinness - blame Mum for telling tales to me, but she did add, you make them laugh all the time.
