Planning my next trip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I know I\u2019ve only just come home, but I\u2019m planning my next trip. I think you\u2019re going to enjoy this one, although you may rather wish you were coming with me. We go in three weeks\u2019 time and it\u2019s a very special trip. I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019m allowed to tell you all the details, but it\u2019s going to involve lots of research for a book. This time it\u2019s not one of Mum\u2019s books but one by a friend of hers. Hopefully I will be able to tell you much more soon. In the meantime I\u2019m looking forward to doing lots of fun Christmas things when we get there. Mum has already told me I can\u2019t go to everything, but I shall certainly put in a request to go to as many things as I can. I know I shall get some chance to see Mama while I\u2019m there too, but maybe not my sister as she was going to see a stud dog and may not be up to wanting to play with me if she\u2019s pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Differences to Switzerland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now we\u2019re home in England we notice all the differences to Switzerland. Mum and I were making a list as we walked round the airfield. Firstly, England is very muddy. Now I\u2019m sure there are other countries that are muddy, but Mum says that Belgium and Switzerland aren\u2019t two of them. Here we squelch our way through the winter and it\u2019s just wonderful. Ok, so it\u2019s only me who thinks that\u2019s a good thing. Secondly, it gets dark much earlier. Here now it\u2019s dark by 16.11. Where Dad is it isn\u2019t dark until 16.53 and the difference will just get more over the next month or so. Mum hates the dark nights. I don\u2019t mind so much but it does mean fitting our dog walks into a shorter part of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mum consoles herself by having the weather in Honningsvag on her phone. There\u2019s a funny accent thing on the \u2018a\u2019 but I couldn\u2019t find how to do it. Anyway, that\u2019s the most northerly place she could find weather for and at the moment the sun gets up at 09.05 and sets at 12.51 \u2013 which makes Mum feel better about here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>Demanding Tea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shadow had the last walk yesterday. She was really quite determined that it was tea-time as soon as she came back. First she stood and glowered at Mum when she wanted to take a happy Shadow picture. Then she came in and stood shoulder to shoulder with Alfie as he demanded his tea. Mum made them both wait!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great Monday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n
