I know I\u2019m going to visit family some days over the next week, but that\u2019s more about Mum and Dad\u2019s families. If I heard right, Mum might be planning a trip for me to go to see my own family. Oh how I\u2019ve longer for that. I don\u2019t know much yet except Ari is pretty fed up as he wouldn\u2019t be coming. I do hope I\u2019m right as it really has been far too long since I saw them. It would be the best Christmas present ever if that is what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gardening in the cold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mum and Dad spent some time gardening in the cold yesterday. Ari kept asking if he could go back inside, but I just ran around every time I felt a bit chilly and then munched another apple. Mum and Dad were cutting up all the garden waste to fill the green bins. Mum does it with secateurs. Dad has to use some piece of machinery. It\u2019s funny how male and female humans differ. I guess if dogs used power tools we\u2019d probably be much the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Christmas 2007<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I\u2019m looking back to Christmas 2007. Alfie was still an only dog in those days. He was two years old and they were all still living in Belgium, his country of birth. I really don\u2019t know what they did for Christmas that year as whatever it was didn\u2019t involve many photos. All I could find were some lovely pictures from Alfie\u2019s Woods where he used to walk at the back of where they lived in Belgium. It looks a little like the lovely woods I walk in. It\u2019s nice to think he had somewhere similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC00079-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"27102\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC00079-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27102\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC00084-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"27101\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC00084-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27101\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC00082-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"27099\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC00082-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27099\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC00081-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"27100\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC00081-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27100\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m hoping to go to my woods today or tomorrow and I\u2019ll think of Alfie while I\u2019m there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Wilma has overheard Mum planning a trip.
