Out and back..Wilf goes walking alone..Digby stays by the fire
The trial of an American student and her boyfriend accused of killing a flatmate in a drug crazed sex game that went wrong is a genuine topic of conversation here. What is worse to be the parents of a girl that has been murdered or to be the parents of children whose 'unwholesome' activities are dissected for all to see in court? The latest twist is that the girl accused of the crime claimed that she had been at her boyfriends apartment until ten in the morning. However a witness has come forward claiming that she had been buying cleaning fluids at eight that same morning.
2004 - We sell the farm in Scotland and move to the warmth of southern Europe. 2 lively Polish Lowland Sheepdogs - Wilf and Digby - our patient and comical companions. After a year in Provence we head to Italy to restore a hilltop Roman watchtower . Following an unpleasant 'housejacking' in late 2009 we set off for new adventures in South West Franceto get to grips with a large and exceedingly rickety old farmhouse. Empty nesters life after the violence of Italy has a gentler tempo. Digby passed on from piroplasmosis in May 2010. HIs brother, despite being diagnosed with cancer and having become blind ,soldiered on for another two years. Bob and Sophie joined us in 2013. Bob passed on in 2019. Sophie enjoyed the fresh air in Scotland after we returned in late 2022 but ran ahead in the summer of 23. This blog records all those little things about living with dogs that are too unimportant to make it into a diary but which make life, life.
