On the down side our usual walk is so overgrown with long grass that Mum doesn\u2019t like taking us there when it\u2019s hot and dry. Firstly, she doesn\u2019t like her legs being bitten, but secondly, she doesn\u2019t want us in the long grass either. However, on the upside it does mean we can do a different walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a lovely hill just near our house which the last time Shadow went she was up to her knees in mud and came back a very unhappy dog. Do you have any idea how long it takes us to lick off that amount of mud? Anyway, when it\u2019s dry the mud all goes and leaves sand behind. It\u2019s so nice and soft on our paws. When it\u2019s windy it\u2019s not so good as it blows in our eyes and builds up into dunes, but on a nice day it\u2019s lovely feeling it through your toes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beach would be better<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_5980.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_5980-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14723\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shadow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Ok, so I grant you going to the beach would be better, but that would be a very long walk from the front door. I think there is a limit to how far Mum is willing to walk and in fairness Shadow\u2019s hip would not want to go that far. Shadow is at an age where her head things she\u2019s still a puppy and her body knows different. Actually, to be honest she and Mum make a good pair!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bird feeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The birds are better fed round here than the rest of us. Mum has now expanded into nine or maybe it\u2019s ten different types of food. Whilst Shadow and I think it\u2019s a real waste that we can\u2019t actually get to the where the birds are, Mum and Aristotle are really appreciating the different varieties that come down. She never seems to have her camera in her pocket when the best ones are around. Yesterday she spent ages admiring a pair of Gold Finches on one of the feeders and she\u2019s always talking to the Robin. Different sizes of bird seem to come at different times of day. They seem to have a rota system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available&nbsp;<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\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 2018 Rosemary J.
