Walking on May Hill

When the weather is mild and sunny it is hard to resist a Sunday walk on May Hill and now I have Jelly Bean to walk that is even more incentive to get the car out. 

Jelly Bean on May Hill

 And they say you can see seven counties on a clear day.  You can certainly see the huge meander in the River Severn – a great view.

If you are lucky, you will also come across some of the horses that graze wild on the hill, year round.

B&B has new Jack Russell puppy!

So, who could resist her?  If you can, then this probably isn’t the place for you to come to stay!  She is very good but she is a Jack Russell and she is an 18 week old puppy!  

I have had her for 4 weeks and she is house-trained, will “sit” and come back when I call her – most of the time.  Oh, her name is Jelly Bean.  Many friends offered many suggestions for names, my daughter asked for suggestions on facebook, but in the end I decided to wait to see what actually ‘fitted’ her and on the 2-hr drive back from North Oxfordshire, my friend and I decided she was definitely a jumping Jelly Bean.

Poor Lilli was somewhat horrified and went on hunger strike for 2 days.  But she soon realised Jelly was not going to go away so she had better make the best of it.  It was helped a little by the fact that she was considerably bigger than Jelly – until it was that Jelly realised just how much fun it is to chase her.   Poor Lilli – she now has several escape routes in the garden but I notice that she always seems to be outside now, far more than before, and definitely if Jelly is outside.  So I think she is ok.

Lilli is not amused

 

 

Getting to know you

 

 

 

 Only time will tell I suppose but, to add to the general mayhem, I have another kitten due to arrive at the end of August!  I had thought, when I booked it, that it would be company for Lilli, since she lost her sister, but then Jelly came along.  So who knows how it will all work out now. 

But, as I said before, if you are not an animal lover, best to pick a different b&b!  However, if you like to be greeted enthusiastically on arrival, and like a cat singing to you thru breakfast, this is the place for you!  I look forward to meeting you.

talk soon – c
