Max the Collie Dog

Max, Marcus & I have been on a bit of a tour of the country. Starting in Southampton on Thursday we headed up to Lincoln and met up with Marcus's Mum's family for a family funeral.

We stayed at a fantastic farm house B+B. We would recommend this to anyone who needs to visit Lincoln, fancies a weekend away with great food and lots around to do or is on business in the area. (Pictured above left, with the nearest neighbour on the right.)

The day was very wet to start off with, the heavons opened as we all gathered at the house and the rain came down in a torent as the cars arrived and we all left for the Cremetorium. As the cars were led into0 the Cremeroium the rain stopped and the sun came out. Max did not attend the service, but came to the wake and made a new friend in Chloe.

We then set off for our weekend in Gloucestershire (we stayed near Cinderford).

We went on lots of walks and explored a lot of the Forest of Dean. The cottage was peaceful, the facillities it provided were basic, but it had Sky, DVDs, a huge conservatory and was on the edge of an amazing valley.
