A young lady with manners!

This is little Ms Abbey at a little farm cottage on one of our cycling weekends away. She is so tiny that we often take her along and many of the places are quite happy to allow such a petite, house trained guest - four legged or not!

Right now, as I'm typing, she's standing next to me, staring right at me, almost without blinking an eye. In Abbey language, that either means: 'I need to drink water', or 'I have to have a private moment on the lawn outside...' That's exactly why she makes such a good travelling companion!

So without further ado, let me figure out which it is! Oh, and if you're following our Thursday hikes - latest pics have been posted, to see how blessed we are with wonderful scenery here in Cape Town, click here.

Lovely week everyone!

Grandson: I love you Georgie!

George: Hey buddy, how about something to eat?

Just loved this shot! These two love each other  - George has to run for cover every now and again when the playing gets too rough but this was just a classical encounter between the two of them today. :)

For those of you interested in our Thursday hiking pictures - I've just posted last week's pics at http://www.thursdayhiking.blogspot.com/.

Have a great week everyone and let's hold thumbs for MaxMom and her Toby - this is their BIG week!

Walking in the rain...

Thursday is hiking day and even though it was a rainy day in Cape Town, we headed out for a walk in the Newlands Forest, nestled against the side of Table Mountain.

I couldn't resist taking a pic of this sign, good to know that someone has thought of that, unfortunately its seems to be a universal phenomenon that dog owners still have to be reminded to clean up after their pets!

Almost weekend! :)
