Rajasthan 12

We begin our journey home. Collected from The Tigress Hotel at 06h15 we bumped our way down the dirt track for the last time, at least this time in a car with working lights so we could see the potholes. We have a short drive from Ranthambore to the railway station at Sawai Madhopur where…

365 Project – Day 358

Christmas Border Terrier. It’s Christmas Day and I’ve really not had much time for photographs. I was ‘up with the cock’ and straight into a positive orgy of cooking and between us Mrs S and I put a pretty decent traditional Christmas lunch together for the ten of us.

365 Project – Day 334

Maude on duty. I’ve said before that Maude, our fearless Border Terrier, hates squirrels with a passion that only terriers can muster. I’m not saying that she takes this to extremes but she even attacks the television when there are squirrels. Fearless attention to duty. 1 December 2014

365 Project – Day 120

When we moved last year we had a really nasty hedge replaced with a nice beech one. It will take a year or few of growth to develop but will be great then. Doing this meant that our so called ‘lawn’ was completely chewed up along the edges so we found some grotty stepping stones…

365 Project – Day 111

After yesterday’s little grumpy outburst, here is a restful and idyllic pastoral shot. It was a lovely morning for a walk and following yesterday’s rain everywhere was cleanly washed and fresh. Here is a green tunnel on our path. And a Border Terrier. 21April 2014
