Now he tells me. I didn\u2019t know that\u2019s why we were coming on holiday. He was telling me he was there when Dad proposed in the woods where they were living in Belgium. He didn\u2019t get to go to the wedding as that was in England and his passport hadn\u2019t come through by then. Anyway, we\u2019re having a great time, except for the point when I got excited on the walk and pulled Mum through a gate scraping her arm really badly on a wooden post. The swelling and bruise will go down eventually!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_3616.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_3616-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3616\" class=\"wp-image-11926\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_3616-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_3616.jpg 338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Shadow and I were worn out by the end of the day. We started the day with a leisurely breakfast outside at our stopover hotel and then did the rest of the long drive to Devon. When we arrived we had a short walk and then our humans had afternoon tea, with scones and clotted cream and however much I asked they wouldn\u2019t share it with me. They did take us for a lovely long walk round Fernworthy Reservoir afterwards and there were fields of sheep and sheep poo and lots of birds to try to chase. It was great, but we were all tired by the end of it. Our humans were laughing as they weren\u2019t that sure they were following the route right or how far it would be and there was no mobile phone signal so as Mum writes fiction she was thinking of all the things that could go wrong and had developed quite a horror story by the end of it. She\u2019s asked if I\u2019d walked far enough not to get her up again at 5am! You\u2019d think she would be grateful she doesn\u2019t need an alarm clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today is a very exciting day as we\u2019re going to see two of Shadow\u2019s children and have another lovely walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=rosemary%20j%20kind\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Alfie rang to wish Mum and Dad a happy 10th wedding anniversary!
