Up The Creek

At last the weather is warming up. Last weekend we went for a walk that turned into a hike.

My version of the Grand National

"The Martlesham Circular Walk" 

Half way round and they find out that the route's over five miles long!

My impression of Gabriel's dog

We did think about stopping here

But ended up at the Black Tiles for a well deserved drink

Mum forgot that we still had to walk back to the woods to pick the car up, so Dad made a joke about getting it later that night and seeing if anyone was dogging. Like a lot of his jokes, I didn't get it! 

And I got water

A Dog Or God Cold Easter

My first Easter and I don't really get it. Apparantly years ago some bloke called Jesus who was the son of God was crucified on Good Friday (what was good about that?) Anyway he came back to life the following monday and saved us all, not sure if dogs were included? Anyway people get two days off work to celebrate all of this, they eat fish & hot cross buns on Good Friday, but not together and on Easter Sunday they give each other chocolate eggs - how very bizarre!

It was a cold Easter for those wimpy humans

I went for a walk with Sam before he went on holiday to South Africa. Bloody hell he's only been home ten days! Just as I was getting to know him he pisses off. Is this going to be how our relationship is?

What's he look like? That hat that Sam brought him from Russia is bad enough, but his beard? 

Easter Sunday and it's back to Felixstowe to see if I will swim

I had a go but got a bit scared by the waves

One of them took me under!

He's not giving up 

We moved round to the dock basin where the sea was a bit calmer

Dad pushed me in a few times - bastard

Here's a video of my first swim. Mum was so proud, I could have been her real son!

I do like a chew 

Poser

That's a bloody great Ship in the background

Dads still wearing that hat, mind you it was bloody cold down at felixstowe. He's lucky he didn't have to go in the water. Still at least he's had a shave!

At last I'm warming up

Brothers In Arms

Not that much happened in March apart from it was still cold. I don't get it, all that people talk about is the weather. The most exciting thing that happened to me was finally meeting Sam my older brother, back home after from living in South Korea for two years - what a legend.

I finally met my oldest brother Sam, he's the one who lived in South Korea.

I thought I'd do a little bonding!

A new toy - a Frizbee 

More snow, and it's the end of March! Mum & Dad went to France for the weekend and left us boy's at home, happy days.

Max's Skoda, there's more rubbish in here than the bin.

Dad's idea of a joke, he tied this round me and told Max I was off to Friday prayers!
