very old ivy


I have never seen a stem of ivy as thick as this one invading a hedge oak like some alien monster emerging from the bowels of the earth ... corrugated iron by cornwall farmers associated

water falls


not ice but water, a small waterfall near Broadgate

mission control


Spot has also been quite taken by all the interesting interiors on other blogs so he would like to show you where he spends a lot of his time working on his blog. The painting on the right is by Rose Hilton, and the pastel on the left is by Bryan Pearce, two very interesting artists although for very different reasons. Poor Bryan is dead now but his work is going to live on for a very long time. Spot, of course, enjoys looking at himself.

lurcher ancestry


Spot feels very jealous of the blogs (link)he has seen recently with pictures of other people's ancestors; he has roots too, so here are his great grandpa and great granny Fox. He knows how proud they would be that he also is a prize winning lurcher. Great granny looks just like Harri, except that like most Victorians she has a very thick neck.
