Holiday Part 1 - Grandma's

Ello for you. It do be me, Marley, and I do be back from my oliday. We dun such a lot of fings that I gonna have to say it for you in two parts ovverwise I fink you haz to do too much readin.

I dint kno we woz goin on oliday until dad did put me in the cage in the car. This do only appen when we is goin for a long journey...



We did drive for a bit and then we did stop to see our friends Pam, Tony, Nirav, Ishaan and Sahin who do live in Harpenden. We did know them ever since Willium was a baby. We ad some lunches there and then we did go for a nice long walk and we did go to our first rock concert....



....can see you see the band? They was just gettin goin and there were a few peeple there, altho our photo do make it look like they did ave no ordience at all. It was quite loud and we did not stay for long so that we did not urt our ears. After lunch we did drive to Chesterfield to see Grandma. She had boughted us some new toys to say ello...



On Monday, we did go to Curbar for a walk along Froggat Edge which do be very high from the ground....



...and I had to stay on my lead so I dint run off the edge by mistake and ave to fly down. I was tellin my friend Sir bArley that it do be in the Peak District wot is a Nashnul Park and a place of outstandin natural booty (like me) and peeple is not allowed to build many fings there....which does make dad sad cos he would like to live there.

After we did walk for a long way we did ave to go to the pub for lunch cos dad say it do be the only place to get a drink for miles around and he was firsty....



I did try some lemon and then I did play wiv Pepper, who was a little border terrier pup. We did ave a look at his chew...




When we did get back later in the day, I did ave quite a lot of diffikulty findin juss the right spot in the sun for relaxin and gettin my strengf back...





On Toosday we was rememberin our grandad, who did leave us one year ago exactly. We decide we would go to Chatswuff House cos he did like to go there and we do remember goin there wiv im. Owever, it was a rainy day and we did spend quite a lot of time under the trees askin dad wot we was gonna do next...



When the rain did stop we did look everywhere for Grandad. We did look in the maze....



....and we fink we did sense him all about...



After we got ome I did try and play ide and seek wiv Izzy and Alice...



....but they did find me pretty quick...



...and i was fated as a god....which I do be in these parts. We did also visit Auntie Christine's house. Lola did say ello for the ducks and chickens wot do live nex door...



I dunno if that is her best side....We woz also expectin to see Sparkle the wabbit but we woz sad to ear that she did get poorly and go over the rainbow bridge.....but we did ave a good look for her anyway...



All in all, we did ave a very excitin and tirin time at Grandma's ouse...



....and then we did ave to jump back in the car and head off for the second bit of our oliday in the Lake District...




....but we gonna ave to leave that for another day cos there do be a lot to tell you bout.

My friend who do also be called Marley (@allaboutmarley) did send me this funny pikture wot was im wearin his raincoat...



We finked it woz funny so we was askin if anyone else did ave similar fings wot they was (very wisely) keepin from publik scrutiny.

Aaarggggh me hearties, there do be trezzure in them thar woods

The weekend did start off wiv a bit of drama: I had to lie low after sum "disciplinary infractions"...or so they woz claimin...



When I did fink the coast was clear I did say to dad that we shud go and do some geo-caching and see if we could find some buried trezzure in our village. I telled him we go Ashtead Common, wot do be near us and is good for burying fings cos is woody...



...and I did lets them borrow my iBone and it did ave a app wot did show us the way to the trezzure wot did look like this....



...and it was a sunnee day and woz ot and firsty work lookin for wot them pirates had left....



Willium did tell me the trezzure was buried somewhere out there. Ow he fink I gonna find dat? I fink mebbe too deep and tangly for us all...



But I did use my super-nose to unt out that trezzure and we did find it pretty quick...



Willium and me did look in the box to see what peeple had left there for us. We fink mebbe there would be gold or diamonds and fings like dat...



...bu there was somefink even better!



And we did leave a little note for the next peeple an also a little present wot was a hedgehog wiv big ands and stretchy arms in case there was some childruns doin geo-cachin...



When we had put the box back in its hidey ole we did go and look for annuver one wot our machine did say was nearby (about half a mile fru da woods and bracken and fings). I did fink mebbe it was in the pond but dad said they dussn't expect peeple to come wiv snorkel and flippers...



...so we went on an eventually Lola did sniff out sumfink under a broken tree wiv her nose...



...but I made sure I got my beak into the box first to make sure we haz checked all the possible goodies and choosed the best one....



...and look! We did find annuver doggie sticker so we decided to take that one and leave behind a little car for some more chilluns...




We ad been doin it for over an hour by then and Willium was complainin that he was ungry and firsty....so we looked for some foods for im but all we could find was mushrooms and Willium dussn't eat em..



By this point, everyone was laggin behind and I tell em to urry theyselves up or we was gonna be late ome for lunch and fings..



...but I had spoked too soon and I did get a forn in my paw and lied down in the road and refused to move til someone had taked it out again...



Willium did manage to get it out wiv his nimble fingers and we got ome to lunch. After, we was very tired cos we was walkin for a couple of hours in the sunshines and so we did go to our bed for a nap. Can you see wot we has stuck on our bed...at the back...hee hee



We did ave a brilliun time lookin for trezzure wiv our geo-cachin stuff and we do recommend it for everypeeple. You just google it and you see wot needs doin...
