Last week we went for a walk at Wimpole Hall in Cambridgeshire. Our mates Mickey an' Patch was there, and someone wot we 'adn't seen for ages - a lady called Helen. She was really nice to me and let me talk to 'er Jack Russell at the White Lodge Show. If you do take a look at that you'll see me 'avin' a lean on Bronwyn - Helen's daughter; more on 'er in a bit. There was loads of uvvers too, and all in all we 'ad 15 'ounds out for a wander, 'an nearly as many 'umans, though some of them were puppies.

So this 'ere 'all, why go there? Well, for a start it's an 'arf decent gaff.


Wimpole Hall

The gardens are pretty big an' all, and according to dad they was done in part by a Mr. Brown 'ooo by all accounts was a very capable geezer.

That, I s'pose, is all very interesting, but from our point of view there was sheep what meant there was plenty to sniff, if you get my drift.


Going up the hill

So we set off, Me, Kia, Lucy, Mack an' Rosie went wiv dad, and Monty an' Jack went wiv mum. Like I say, the gardens are huge. We walked all the way round to the back garden, then to the lake, then up the 'ill to a funny lookin' buildin' then back to the 'all; course, it took a bit longer to walk it than say it.


The Folley

On the way round a fair few people stopped us and asked what so many grey'ounds was doin' in one place - so we told 'em like. And o'course we let the little 'umans 'ave a stroke - tough job, but someone's gotta do it.

It was a fair old walk, and took us over an hour. At the end there was a cafe so the 'umans could have a sit down an' a cuppa. Dad 'ad loads of liver cake - 'ee's top draw somtimes, and I reckon he was everyhounds favourite 'uman while there was still some in the bag.


At the Cafe

Now, I mentioned Bronwyn earlier on. She said she likes grey'ounds - just as well seeing as lives with free - but she really liked small dogs and really really liked big dogs, and so really really liked Rosie; as this pic shows.

It was great seein' old friends again and catchin' up on stuff, and meetin' new ones. And we would love to go to Wimpole Hall again.
