My Sunday Photo ~ Welcome Boris

Earlier I mentioned to you we were collecting the newest member of our family.

Well here he is.

His name is Boris and he's a Working Cocker Spaniel. He's a solid black with a small patch of roan/white on his chest.

He's adorable and a most welcome addition, it's taken us a very, very long time to find the right pup, who'd have guessed we'd find him so close, he came from a place near Petworth.

At eight weeks old he had the most amazing recall and is a credit to his breeder Lynne, it's great for getting him outside to potty when he'd just woken up. If you didn't know it, puppies always need the potty when they've just awoken, eaten or got over excited when playing. Himself discovered the latter when I was having a bath this evening and got caught out LOL. 

If you want to see daily updates about what Boris and Badger Boo are up too, head over to Badger Boo's Facebook Page and click Like, or for weekly updates you can follow Badger Boo's blog.

Hope you all have a great Sunday.

So Excited!!!

Today's the day we collect our new puppy, I'm so excited I could burst!

A new puppy means a new dog bed, which Badger Boo just had to check out for comfort, I'll be writing more about the new puppy once he's had a chance to settle in and find his feet.

As it's Saturday, it's Caption Day on the blogs.

I've not done #SatCap for a while, but as soon as I saw this picture I knew it was time.

 It would have been rude not too.

A Welcome Surprise

I missed posting last week as I was spirited away on a surprise holiday by Himself. It was wonderful to have some time away at last, after all the ill health of the last couple of years, preventing either of us from being well enough at the same time to go away. I'll tell you more about the holiday next time.

This week I'd like to finally welcome the Policeman to the family of Knitted Collectables. You last saw the naked version of him here.

It always amazes me how they come to life as you start to add the little details.

In allotment news, the harvesting has begun.

It's great to finally be reaping the rewards after all the hard work of digging and preparing the soil. 

There's still lots more to come, I think I may have planted a few too many potatoes for the two of us, but I'm sure I'll be able to make all sorts of interesting things with them.

Just a quick post today to catch up with myself. 

Hope you've all had a great week.

My Sunday Photo ~ Sunflowers

This year I planted Sunflowers on my allotment for the first time and they're growing beautifully tall and strong.

I can't wait to see their big smiley faces, at the moment their flower heads are forming, I love how they're just waiting to burst open.

Hopefully it won't be long before they burst forth and look even more gloriously beautiful than they do now.

My Sunday Photo ~ Caterpillars

I love my garden and I love Butterflies.

 But the caterpillars drive me nuts, they can destroy plants in a matter of hours.

My solution to this problem is to plant sacrificial plants, the plan is the Butterflies lay their eggs there, instead of on the plants I want to keep, on the whole this works very well.

My sacrificial plant of choice is the Nestertion (Not sure of spelling, and that doesn't look right) it works very well, my Cauliflower and Broccoli are free to grow in peace, whilst they gobble up the Nestertions, all I need to do now is figure out a way to deal with those pesky Slugs and Snails.

We also have a Toad that likes to visit, you can read about him on The Dogs Blog.
